The footage used at the beginning is of DD-730 Collett who collided with DD-527 Ammen on 07.19.1960 off Newport Beach California in a heavy fog.
While the Collett had several crew injured some of whom were knocked overboard actually landing on the deck of the Ammen. The Ammen suffered 11 Crew dead and 20+ injured.
Just thought it important to mention what actually happened and not let the footage serve as a prop regardless of how closely or not it is portrayed.
Even 60 years later the stories are compelling. Absolutely a fan, just to be clear.
