Incorrect TV
I have stopped watching anything to do with ships. Wheels being turned to port when the OM says stbd, references to someting called a "prow", when they described the Bismark as a 'boat' and the stern as 'the back'. that was the end for me. Ships are now 'it', maritime dumbing down is complete.

Suggest you have a pen and paper handy to note the mistakes down, there will be that many, lookout for the water being churned up by the propeller!

Hello John (Oz) and Alf.
Loved your comments.
I couldn't see it at first myself. It was my wife, anyway you have a good look, (with or without anything to help L.O.L).
It's in the opening credits, look at the sun and you will see it travelling from left to right. It's also in the closing credits.
Please let me know.
John Albert Evans
PS. Once seen never forgotton
