In the opening scene, the boy in the raft says that he can hear airplanes, which turn out to be PT boats. Many of the WWII PT boats were powered by airplane engines.
The US Navy provided naval equipment and allowed access to their fleet of submarines and also supplied service personnel.
Background shots for this movie were filmed at the United States Navy's Naval Submarine Base situated at New London, Connecticut.
The PT boats seen at the beginning (and for a brief moment, at the end) of the film are Elco 77-foot PTs, the type of boat that saw intense combat against the Japanese Navy's "Tokyo Express" in the Guadalcanal area early in World War II. The wartime second-series Elco 77-footers, which were the same type as PT 59, John F. Kennedy's second command after PT 109 was rammed and sunk, are seldom seen on film, and hardly ever in color.
Dana Andrews (Lt. Cmdr. Dewey Connors) and Steve Forrest (Sailor) were brothers in real life.
"Oliver Cromwell Jones: Mac, it's none of my business, and it certainly isn't up to me to give you advice, but if I had a weak heart ... Chief 'Mac' McDonnell: What are you talking about? Oliver Cromwell Jones: A man don't take nitroglycerine for dandruff."
"Jean Hewlett: That isn't gold on your uniform - it's brass!"
