as a side note:
I'm amazed that there isn't a current large-production movie or miniseries about one of the fleet boats. Something to the tune of Saving Private Ryan, or Band of Brothers, but focusing on a legendary boat like the Tang. That story is so amazing that I honestly don't understand how producers don't see the goldmine there.
Of course, they'd probably get someone like Joel Schumacher to direct it and it would be worse than if they hadn't made anything in the first place.
