I enjoyed the show. It was pretty hard to watch sometimes, though. My wife couldn't watch the whole thing. She saw it to a point and then said, I can't watch this any more. She got up and left the room.

If you want to know how to abandon ship properly, read survivors' accounts of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis.

I can't get over the entire Coast Guard bit. They are top-notch professionals. From the way the show recounted events, sounds like the Coast Guard dropped the ball completely.
