Facts about
The film's title "Flat Top" is an informal term for an aircraft carrier as they have a long flat-top deck design for the enabling of aircraft to take-off and land. It is on one that most of this film is predominantly set.
Much of the film was shot aboard the US Navy aircraft carrier Princeton, whose hull number (CVA-37, later CVA-27, CVS-37 and LPH-5) can be clearly seen. The Princeton was a 27,100-ton Ticonderoga-class carrier that was commissioned in November 1945 and decommissioned in June 1949, due to US Defense Department budget cuts, but was later recommissioned for service during the Korean War. She was finally decommissioned, taken apart and sold for scrap in May 1971. It was built at the Philadelphia (PA) Navy Yard in 1945 and was posted to the Atlantic Ocean until June 1946, when she was deployed to the Pacific Theatre of War.
'The Hollywood Reporter' announced in July 1951 that actor Johnny Sands would be appearing in this picture but Sands is not credited as being in the film's cast.
