    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According to a contemporary article in The Hollywood Reporter, this movie marked the first use of the new RKO radio signal trademark that spelled "VICTORY". The signal in previous films spelled out "RKO".
    • Goofs
      The crew inadvertently receives an uncoded voice transmission from a German supply ship indicating its destination. In fact, German supply ships were sent to meet U-boats at prearranged meeting locations by German headquarters back in Europe using coded messages. Therefore, the crew should never have understood the transmission. Since this movie was filmed during the war, these facts were likely unknown at the time.
    • Quotes
      • Chief Michael 'Mike' Mallory: Tell me, how is it a Cuban hotfoot like you comes all the way over here to join the United States Navy?
      • Pat Tarriba: Well, the United States helped to make Cuba free; so, I come here to free the United States.
    • Crazy credits
      THE NAVY COMES THROUGH has been such an established fact that it is now taken for granted. As a result we do not realize that the backbone of the Navy is not ships, planes and submarines - - BUT MEN.
