What happens
Shipmates Forever is a 1935 American musical film directed by Frank Borzage and written by Delmer Daves. Set at the United States Naval Academy, the film stars Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, Lewis Stone, Ross Alexander, John Arledge, Eddie Acuff, and Dick Foran. The film was released by Warner Bros. Pictures on October 12, 1935. Powell, Keeler, Alexander and Arledge combined previously with Borzage and Daves under similar circumstances of plot and character in Flirtation Walk, a film about the United States Military Academy, the year before. The U.S. Navy provided technical assistance for the filming. Locations shots were made at the Naval Academy and a portion of the story's "final cruise" included footage of the battleship USS Arkansas (BB-33), which conducted midshipmen cruises for the Navy in the 1930s. Rare footage of the Martin P3M flying boat is also featured. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
