Shipmates Forever (MOD)

Shipmates Forever (MOD)The story, much of it filmed in Annapolis at the historic United States Naval Academy, involves a midshipman (Powell) who'd rather be a crooner than a sailor and a dance instructor (Keeler) who'd rather not chart a life's course with a navy man. Time and circumstance (including danger at sea during a training cruise) will change all that.
