Comment: An interesting artifact. The Navy backgrounds definitely have an under-researched look to them. I'd have thought the Navy would have insisted on authenticity. On the other hand the story wasn't very authentic either. Join the Navy and have adventures with beautiful spies in exotic locales. Lots of Steve Canyon swipes; anyone know who the artist was?
