The show is a bit melodramatic, but it is fun to watch

I qual'ed as an OOD underway...even had my own watch section when I was an Airboss on a STEAM driven ship!
4 LM2500's running on DFM or diesel fuel marine. What cruisers did you embark on? I was on board the USS Chosin for 5 years out of Pearl Harbor.
