"Battle Stations" (1956) - Complete WW2 Navy War Film

A 1956 American WW2 Navy War film directed by Lewis Seiler and starring John Lund, William Bendix and Keefe Brasselle. The crew of a U.S. Navy ship in World War II goes into battle against the Japanese fleet. The movie took inspiration from the 1944 documentary film "The Fighting Lady." That documentary was an in-depth look at the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Yorktown including combat operations during World War II. With strong and compelling, real combat footage.

STORYLINE: A rebuilt WWII carrier sails back to the Pacific theater to rejoin the war in early 1945, a carrier the Japanese think they sank. So if she shows up again, they will go after her with a vengeance. And they do, nearly destroying her again, ending that mission for her, but she is able to limp back to the states. The captain is tough, he knows the added risk for his ship, but shows he also has a heart by not relieving a pilot of flight duty, one who committed a serious mistake by not taking a wave-off as instructed. Lot of action shots, many appearing to be actual war footage. The usual character sub-stories. Partly plays like a documentary about the navy, and the carrier in particular.

"Battle Stations" was originally released on February 1, 1956.
