Check this out - an anonymous movie (actually, Battle Stations)

No title, no credits, though quite an interesting cast - Richard Boone (Captain), William Bendix (Chief Bucky), Claude Akins (steersman).  Told from the PoV of a Catholic chaplain newly come aboard a USN CV (no ID) in 1945 to go against the Japanese home islands.  The identity of the CV is not stated except that the IJN believed she had already been sunk.  Who does that suggest?  Good operational and action scenes.

Personally, I'm a fan of Richard Boone.  He's a really good actor.

I watched this movie a few days ago.  The story was similar to what happened on the USS Franklin but the CO was a good guy in this movie.

According to the comments on youtube, the movie title is "Battle Stations" (1956).  I don't know who, if anyone, currently owns the copyright.
