The name of the ship in the movie is the Ahti, a cargo ship of Finnish registry.
There was a Camano Class light cargo ship U.S.S. Ryer (AG-138). It was originally delivered to the Army near the end of World War II, for coastal operations. The Ryer participated in the Korean War. Interestingly, the Ryer was sold in 1962 and the name was changed to the Ahti. The Ryer bears a very strong resemblance to the ship used in the making of this film. And may in fact be that ship, rented to make this film.

"[last lines] Pvt. O.A. Dennison: Nice day. Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: Kid, any day a war ends is a nice day."
"Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: See enough there to change your mind? Dennison, I'm talking to you. Pvt. V.R. Hackett: Why don't you get off his back? Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: Well, so now you're on his side? Pvt. V.R. Hackett: I'm not on anybody's side. Look, Briscoe, guys like us it don't bother to do a thing like this, but other guys... Pvt. O.A. Dennison: Other guys just don't like the killing. Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: You got me all figured out. I like to kill, huh? Let me tell you, I see that body sliding in the water, I'm glad it ain't me. Killing is just a little bit better than getting killed. Pvt. V.R. Hackett: Alright, that's why it don't bother me. Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: Don't it? Pvt. V.R. Hackett: No, it don't. Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: Big man! Pvt. V.R. Hackett: Look, let him off the hook and I'll do it. Pvt. O.A. Dennison: Hack, you couldn't do it any... Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: Hold it. He wants to protect this sensitive boy. Go ahead, protect him. Pvt. O.A. Dennison: Hack, you can't do it any more than I can. Sgt. P.J. Briscoe: He can't, huh? Talk about wanting to kill, tell him about Pusan, some time. OK, big man. Go ahead. Get it over with. Fast."
