I liked this episode because it was related to the Navy. I found the storyline of being on the USS Montana (BB-67) interesting since the Montana was ordered by Congress in 1943 and never built due to the war going in our favor and the replacement of the battleship with the aircraft carrier as our main capital ship. Lots of things could be nitpicked but all in all the writers did their homework. Go Navy! ;)

I fit firmly in the aging dad demographic, so "naval thriller with father/daughter thing layered on top" is like Fetanyl to me. In my opinion, Dean Georgaris authored the best episode in each season -- SOS and Nomad.
