An edition of 'The Hollywood Reporter' in July 1943 announced that the Republic Pictures studio was "writing the character of Captain Henry P. Needham, commanding officer of the Construction Battalions at Camp Hueneme, into the script . . . and Associate Producer Albert J. Cohen has wired for permission to have the captain play himself in the picture". From December 1942 to August 1944, as the officer in charge of the Advance Base Receiving Barracks / Advance Base Depot, Needham spent two tours at Port Hueneme. Needham was also the CBC Commanding OFficer at Port Hueneme from 1947 until 1951. However, in the end, neither a character in the movie was not named after Needham, nor did Needham appear in the film.
