An inordinate number of naval films are set during World War II or periods of conflict thereafter, such as the many Cold War submarine films that we’ve all probably seen. One of the few exceptions was 1966’s surprise hit, “The Sand Pebbles,” in which Steve McQueen played an engineer on board a patrol boat traveling up a river during revolution-wracked 1926 China. But besides that excellent film, little really comes to mind for maritime warfare drama.
