5 of 10 just because its the Navy and they do show that the lights turn off when you open an outside door (was that even an outside door?). I'm a Navy Vet so I would lean towards giving this propaganda film a high score but then again I did not like Wake Island or Fighting Seabess. Let me rephrase that slightly, I ate those two films up as a kid in the 1970's because they were very action packed with solid American characters but today as an adult they don't hold up well. OK so here goes, never saw The Navy Comes Through before (gee I wonder why???). A gunnery crew from a merchant ship is able to take a merchant raider unscathed and then with that prize ship sinks 5, yes not 1 or 2 or 3 or 4, but FIVE U boats. And I said "Air Force" was horrible (they shot down at least 20 fighters from one bomber in one flight alone)! I laughed when the U boats blew up with a shot from the gunner's that was funny. Lots to make fun of as other reviewer mentioned the subs interior is like a cruise ship, no beards, no hammocks, radio getting radio free Austria (sheesh), totally whacked out over the top stuff. I have to think even in 1942 they were rolling their eyes at this one, but I could be wrong! 5 of 10, we won, yippee.
