This is the documentary, discussing the role of the ship and its crew. As one of the military officers point out near the end of the story, there are really so many stories involving this one ship, it's really amazing and incredible. It played a huge role in the history of the united states, in several ways. (no spoilers here !). Highly recommend this one! Directed by sara vladic. Really great stuff, but have the kleenex ready.

There's also a film, starring nick cage... i haven't seen that yet, but it's rated lower on imdb.
