Did You Know?
| Trivia | While many movies of this type add complications to the rescue, this one simplifies it. In real life several more ships were involved, and when the diving bell jammed on the fourth trip, several dives were made before it could be freed. The bell was also sent on a fifth trip to confirm that no other compartments contained survivors. See more » |
| Goofs | Jeeps are used as Navy transport vehicles throughout the movie, yet they did not go into production until mid to late 1941, nearly 2 years after the events in this movie are depicted. See more » |
