In the film White Squall there are 17 crew members.
In the film there is a scene where a Cuban patrol boat captain and a few crew members board the Albatross to harass its crew. The situation de-escalates when a convoy of warships appears on the horizon... which the voice over explains to have been on their way to "a little know destination known as the Bay of Pigs."
Bay of Pigs D-Day was 4/17/61
"White Squall DVD was re-released on 11/17/19.
"the last 6 or 7 months, but this was starting even 4 years ago..."
In the film "White Squall" the maritime hearing (final scene) to investigate the shipwreck of the Albatross takes place on October 1, 1961.
In the film, on the day before the hearing, the surviving boys are discussing what had happened, and one of the boys is reading a newspaper with a front page headline about the hearing and that newspaper is dated 30 September 1961.
An oddity, the actual article under the headline is discusses Robert McNamara's memoir, In Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam (1995), which had just been released. The film was released in February of 1996, which put principle filming in 1995 when the book was released and the article was written (byline Lolita Huckaby). The headline and name of the newspaper were mocked up over the article (which has its own peculiarities... but that's for another day).

I watched it yesterday. Basically, a movie about honour, friendship, compassion, and mutual respect. Worth a watch.
Good movie, check it out.
Q has hinted at it many times.
I didn't see the movie but isn't that where the reference to WWG1WGA comes from?
And then wasn't that inscription on JFK's bell (on his boat?)
