The "Greyhound" destroyer does not exist in history, but the number "548" is printed on the ship of "Greyhound" in the movie, and the word "DD-548" is also included under the title of the ending film. It was verified that the "DD-548" was a Fletcher-class destroyer of the US Navy that was cancelled.

Aaron's guidance is very stable, and the sense of time on the frigate is fully expressed, breathtaking! The shooting of naval battles is not easy. It takes 50 hours from the long cruelty. Victory and death repeatedly bring emotional struggles. The degree of reduction and completion is high. Watching in the morning can cheer up the mood of the day.

Did Apple’s short-cut editing ideas learn from Netflix? Or are streaming platforms completely treating movies as a commodity to pass the time? I feel that this rhythm has deleted at least half an hour of content, forced the use of subtitles to keep the content that can promote the narrative, and deleted all other materials. I don't think this kind of editing idea is hard-core, but I think that this cutting method is not only industrial enough, but completely turns the film into a commodity without a director and without any personality.
