I happened across this dreck when channel surfing. After watching it for a few (intolerable) minutes, I just started picking it apart.
Uniforms? Well, they're using the new Navy Working Uniform, aka, Aquaflage. And they are using the correct Navy rank insignia, although it should be embroidered, not pinned on. But, the officers are wearing enlisted uniforms. How do I know? Officers and Chiefs have the name tapes embroidered in gold, whereas the enlisted have theirs embroidered in light blue. Strike 1.
Ranks? They refer to one individual as "Chief." To call an individual "Chief" in the Navy is referring to their rank. Yet, there is "C.P.O. Vincent." He is constantly referred to as "C.P.O. Vincent," not Chief Vincent. "U.S. Navy Shipman"? What is that? Strikes 2, 3, and 4.
"USS Nemesis"? The hull number on this battleship is 63. BB-63 is former USS Missouri, now a museum ship at anchor in Pearl Harbor. Strike 5.
Oh, before I forget, there is the DSRV that has a control room bigger than the ship's office on Perry Class Frigates. DSRV (Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle) has a crew of 2, not the crowd carried on this "DSRV." Strike 6.
Will SyFy ever do any research before putting garbage like this before the public? I'm dreaming, right?
