Corrected entry: When the Soviet destroyer is spotted in the Bedford's periscope, the name "NOVO SIBIRSK" is shown on the hull. Novosibirsk (a city in Siberia) is one word, and it would have been written in Cyrillic.

Ben Munceford: I've heard a lot about you, Commodore, but I never expected I'd meet you.
Commodore Schrepke: Is that so?
Ben Munceford: Not aboard an American destroyer.
Commodore Schrepke: (Is) that so surprising in these times?
Ben Munceford: I guess not, if one can make the switch mentally. But I, uh... I still connect you with... Hitler's navy.
Commodore Schrepke: Your pardon: Admiral Dönitz's navy, sir.
Trivia: The ship used for the exterior close-up scenes was the Royal Navy frigate HMS Wizard. Some of the crew were used as extras in the film.
