These are the adventures of the misfit crew of PT-73 during World War II. They're one of the best fighting crews in the Navy, but break regulations when it suits them. Their commander, Lieutenant Commander Quinton McHale ( Ernest Borgnine ), is at times as roguish as his crew, but he puts his foot down when things go too far. They are assigned Executive Officer Ensign Charles Parker ( Tim Conway ), who is by-the-book, but too much of a klutz to command too much respect. They have a house-boy, Fuji Kobiaji ( Yoshio Yoda ), who deserted the Japanese Navy and wears a P.O.W. outfit just in case he's caught, so he won't be shot at. Their nemesis is Captain Wallace B. Binghamton ( Joe Flynn ) and his aide Lieutenant Elroy Carpenter ( Bob Hastings ). They're initially stationed in the South Pacific, but moved to Italy in the last season.

Shown here is a series of different McHales Navy TV Guides issued in the early 1960's. Some are quite rare and hard to obtain in todays market place.
