White Squall is probably the only movie Q mentioned that I actually did some digging on. It is based on the 1961 sinking of a brigantine named Albatross captained by Christopher B. Sheldon. Sheldon and his wife had established a sailing school. Aboard the ship were mainly well-to-do high schoolers and college freshmen. The incident claimed the lives of four of the boys, Sheldon's wife, and the ship's cook.

Speaking of JFK...
...There appears some disagreement as to the origins of the phrase, Where We Go One We Go All. Likewise there appears to have been some scrubbing since last I looked into it. Using three different search engines to see if I could find evidence that WWG1WGA was inscribed on JFK's boat bell, I found NO definitive evidence, although I could have sworn I saw a photo of JFK and the alleged bell back when the topic was hot.
However, I did find the following, none of which fully support or negate the JFK bell inscription claim to my satisfaction:

But back to The Squall:
...One of the teenage survivors of the* Albatross* tragedy, Charles Gieg, wrote his account of their travels and the squall which ended their voyage. "White Squall" is thus also the title of the last chapter of the book: White Squall: The Last Voyage of Albatross. It is from this account that the movie is roughly based. Interesting side note: Gieg played the role of his own father in the movie. I also found it interesting, albeit dismaying, that on Amazon the price of a hard cover is now $1250; other sites had paperback copies ranging from $350-$500. I did find one pdf copy uploaded to archive.org, but it was not available for downloading -- I could only "view" an hour at a time. Here is an excerpt from that final chapter:
"None of us blamed anyone for the sinking. We all knew that Skipper had done what he could do to save the ship and that he was still trying to save us. There was no single careless act that had caused Albatross to go down. Skipper had tried to shorten sail the instant the blow struck, and as soon as he saw it, it was too late, he ordered the longboats cut loose. Maybe we were all a little careless or too confident. Each of us had grown to admire the seeming sturdiness of Albatross, and she had become our home, a place of safety and security that we never thought would fail us."
Just as with the phrase WWG1WGA, the above quote can be read metaphorically if we think of Trump as our Skipper and ourselves as first mates of the American "ship." And I pretty much thought the same when I first watched the movie, even more so now. You see, in the movie, the captain aka "Skipper" faces a Coast Guard tribunal where they question the validity of his story and his competency as captain. (At that time, white squalls were thought to have been mere myths.) At first, the boys let him stand trial alone, but ultimately they join forces, even defying their parents' wishes, to corroborate Skipper's testimony and to save his seafaring license. And while I could not find mention of the trial in the book, I did read that after the Albatross tragedy, the United States Coast Guard revised its design requirements for sailing school ships:
"The loss of the Albatross prompted the United States Coast Guard to undertake a thorough review of the instantaneous stability—i.e. the ability of ships to remain upright—and design requirements for sailing school ships. The new rules were codified in the Sailing School Vessels Act of 1982." Albatross

You see, in the movie, the captain aka "Skipper" faces a Naval or Coast Guard tribunal where they question the validity of his story and his competency as captain. (At that time, white squalls were thought to have been mere myths.) At first, the boys let him stand trial alone, but ultimately they join forces, even defying their parents' wishes, to corroborate Skipper's testimony and to save his seafaring license. And while I could not find mention of the trial in the book, and I did read that after the Albatross tragedy, the United States Coast Guard revised its design requirements:
"The loss of the Albatross prompted the United States Coast Guard to undertake a thorough review of the instantaneous stability—i.e. the ability of ships to remain upright—and design requirements for sailing school ships. The new rules were codified in the Sailing School Vessels Act of 1982."
The End
White Squall is probably the only movie Q mentioned that I actually did some digging on. It is based on the 1961 sinking of a brigantine named Albatross captained by Christopher B. Sheldon. Sheldon and his wife had established a sailing school. Aboard the ship were mainly well-to-do high schoolers and college freshmen. The incident claimed the lives of four of the boys, Sheldon's wife, and the ship's cook.

Speaking of JFK...
...There appears some disagreement as to the origins of the phrase, Where We Go One We Go All. Likewise there appears to have been some scrubbing since last I looked into it. Using three different search engines to see if I could find evidence that WWG1WGA was inscribed on JFK's boat bell, I found NO definitive evidence, although I could have have sworn I saw a photo of JFK and the alleged bell back when the topic was hot.
However, I did find the following, none of which fully support or negate the JFK bell inscription claim to my satisfaction:
Michael Flynn Praises 'Great' QAnon Slogan Amid Standing Ovation at Nashville Event
Where we go one, we go all." This is the bell from John F. Kennedy's boat.

But back to the Squall:
...One of the teenage survivors of the* Albatross *tragedy, a Charles Gieg, wrote his account of their travels and the squall which ended their voyage. "White Squall" is thus also the title of the last chapter of the book: White Squall: The Last Voyage of Albatross. It is from this account that the movie is roughly based. Interesting side note: Gieg played the role of his own father in the movie. I also found it interesting, albeit dismaying, that on Amazon the price of a hard cover is now $1250; other sites had paperback copies ranging from $350-$500. I did find one pdf copy uploaded to archive.org, but it was not available for downloading -- I could only "view" an hour at a time. Here is an excerpt from that final chapter:
"None of us blamed anyone for the sinking. We all knew that Skipper had done what he could do to save the ship and that he was still trying to save us. There was no single careless act that had caused Albatross to go down. Skipper had tried to shorten sail the instant the blow struck, and as soon as he saw it, it was too late, he ordered the longboats cut loose. Maybe we were all a little careless or too confident. Each of us had grown to admire the seeming sturdiness of Albatross, and she had become our home, a place of safety and security that we never thought would fail us."
Just as with the phrase WWG1WGA, to me the above quote can be read metaphorically or allegorically if we think of Trump as our Skipper and ourselves as Americans. And I pretty much thought the same when I first watched the movie, even moreso now. You see, in the movie, the captain aka "Skipper" faces a Naval or Coast Guard tribunal where they question the validity of his story and his competency as captain. (At that time, white squalls were thought to have been mere myths.)
