        You have it listed in the Trivia section That Captain Queeg got his name from Muntiny On The Caine. It was actually The Caine Mutiny with Humphrey Bogart. I am guessing you knew that but got it mixed up with Mutiny On The Bounty. No Big Deal but I was searchin here cause I thought I was the only one that got that joke/reference. I got the biggest kick out of that LOL. The Caine Mutiny was about the Captain of a Navy Ship that goes nuts causing his crew to mutiny which is ironic considering the outcome of Captain Queeg's part in TSCC.

Meanwhile, Jesse reminisces about a life-altering mission that happened when she was on a submarine called the Jimmy Carter.
