I have to agree. Though RSRD is very dated and flawed (Not to mention the whole change in script because someone had their ego hurt. Not to mention that person looks like they are either "on" something, or having a medical emergency the entire film) is still the best we have. Plus it has Burt Lancaster in it, so it's going to be pretty good based off of that.
Atleast it doesn't have some stupid love triangle in it!
I can't think of another Fleet Boat film that works better. Though "Crash Dive" looks fun, if only for the real ships used in some shots. Sailor Steve can give you more info on that. From a historical perspective, it's really nice to have.
