The Eternal Sea on DVD, Drama, Sterling Hayden, Alexis Smith

Biopic of Rear Adm. John M. Hoskins, U.S. Navy. During World War II, Capt. John Madison Hoskins of the U.S. Navy returns home for a short leave after spending two years at sea. In 1942, he is given command of the USS Hornet (CV-8). Unfortunately, news reaches him that the Hornet has recently been sunk by the Japanese. Without a ship, Hoskins is temporarily reassigned as an instructor at Quonset Point, Rhode Island. In 1944, Hoskins is finally sent to the front lines. He's given command of the USS Princeton (CVL-23) involved in the ongoing Philippines campaign. When Hoskins arrives to replace the current captain of the Princeton, as part of the routine rotation of skippers practiced by the Navy, he is told to assist the Princeton's captain rather than take over command of the ship. The reason being that the Princeton's skipper, Capt. William Buracker, is already briefed on the ongoing operation and it would take too much time for the Navy to bring Hoskins up to speed. However, Hoskins agrees to serve on the ship as prospective commanding officer under Buracker's command.
