Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMany shipboard scenes were filmed on the WWII aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10), a museum ship moored in Charleston, SC. Aircraft on display on the flight deck served as some of the aircraft seen in the movie. The Yorktown is not a "supercarrier," as the USS Polaris is depicted to be, so there are noticeable differences between the ship as seen on deck and the wide shots of the ship seen at sea, the most obvious being the island superstructure.
- GoofsDuring dinner with the Captain not only is he not wearing the correct rank, (2 gold bands on uniform jacket is a Lt and Captain wears 4 gold bands) he is also missing the Commanding Officers insignia, a gold star on uniform.

Featured review
It is believable that a woman can wear a good man down and this film proves it
There is a cute little Walt Disney book titled "Button Soup" It is a 1975 Disney's Wonderful World of Reading storybook featuring Daisy Duck and Scrooge McDuck. In this book, Daisy tricks her stingy Uncle Scrooge into making enough soup for the whole town -- using just one button.
Using a similar approach to the Disney book "Button Soup" a pretty writer named Maddie Contino (Jen Lilley) begrudgingly agrees to go on what's called a Tiger Cruise with her mother Elizabeth (Barbara Niven). A Tiger Cruise allows a naval officer to take their family to work and in this case Maddie's sister is stationed as a fighter pilot named Lt. Amelia Breslin (Stefanie Butler) on a ship. Lt. Amelia Breslin, her sister Maddie, and their mom Elizabeth receive a dinner invitation from the ship's captain who invites his own son, Lt. Billy Jenkins (Trevor Donovan) to join them for dinner and reminisce about Christmas's past when the ships Captain Chet Jenkins (Brett Rice) used to work alongside Maddie and Amelia's father who is now deceased. As Captain Jenkins discusses the very first Tiger Cruise he lights a spark in Maddie's desire to write about a long forgotten romance of a couple who first met on that very first Tiger cruise.
Captain Jenkins assigns his good looking fighter pilot son Billy to assist Maddie in researching her story by accessing the ships archives, and Billy initially wants nothing to do with Maddie's research or with the Christmas spirit. But as luck would have it, with every stone Maddie over turns (just like in the 1975 Disney book Button Soup) she draws the unwilling Billy closer and closer into the research and into falling in love with one another.
Maddie and Billy's research leads to good things happening which I don't want to divulge and ruin it for any interested viewers but suffice to say the story took a lot of hard work, push and pull, and convincing but all works out in the end for all parties.
I give USS Christmas a decent 7 out of 10 IMDB rating.
