All movies are silly to some extent, but did the movie do what it set
out to do. Yep, in spades. A 2 hour advertisement for the Navy.

Are you saying the Navy paid to have that movie made?

IMHO, what "the movie set out to do" was to make a huge pile of money
for the producer, nothing else. It was purely a business enterprise.

I'm willing to learn otherwise.
