The story of U.S.S. "Belinda", Attack Transport PA22, launched late 1943 with regular-Navy Captain Jebediah S. Hawks (Jeff Chandler) and ex-merchant Lieutenant Dave MacDougall (George Nader) as boat commander.

| User ReviewAshley HAway All Boats is an incredible film. It is about the story of a U.S. naval ship and its crew in the Pacific, 1943-1945. Jeff Chandler and George Nader give excellent performances. The screenplay is well written. Joseph Pevney did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama. Away All Boats is a must see. |
