Production
You're in the Navy Now was filmed in black-and-white in 1950 on location at the Norfolk Naval Yard, Hampton Roads, Virginia, and aboard the PC-1168 based there. Except for stock footage of a boxing match, verisimilitude in the film was high. Aside from PC-1168, ships that appeared prominently in the film were USS Luzon (ARG-2), USS Albemarle (AV-5), USS Marquette (AKA-95), USS Fremont (APA-44), USS Chilton, USS Roanoke (CL-145), USS Perry (DD-844), and USS Mattabesset (AOG-52). With the exception of the Albemarle, all (including PC-1168) were anachronistic to the date of the storyline.
The film marked the screen debuts of Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Harvey Lembeck, and Jack Warden. U.S.S. Teakettle premiered at the Roxy Theater in New York City on February 23, 1951.
