Trivia:

During the last half of season 8, Catherine Bell was shown mostly behind a desk or holding something in front of her because she was pregnant. Her character pretended to be pregnant during the last couple of episodes of the 8th season, then threw away the padding during the Season 9 premiere - because Bell had given birth during the summer hiatus.

Goofs:

Miscellaneous: The hull numbers on ships often do not match the ones displayed on the base caps etc. worn by the crews.

Quotes:

Admiral Chegwidden: [Harriet has just announced that she's pregnant with twins] Don't the two of you get to sleep?
Bud: Apparently not.

Good show - need more like it.

It surprises me (assuming the show is reasonably accurate) how relatively little the Navy has changed since I got out of it 31 years ago. I assume the show gets some cooperation from the Navy, anyway it's worth watching. I have yet to see a bad episode. My only criticism is there is a tendency to wrap up an episode too quickly sometimes and there is too much time spent on romance and not enough on action (wow, I sound like I am about ten years old. Hmm.)
