Looks like you were ready to overlook the weak spots to enjoy this story. Have you seen Silent Service? That's the one where the US trains this Japanese crew in utter secrecy to run a nuclear sub - the idea being that the sub and crew will be part of the USN. Instead, the Japanese crew takes over and proclaims their ship its own nationhood - subtly hinting that they've got the nukes to dissuade any who might have a problem with that.
