Production

This series was never filmed on a carrier. It was partly filmed on board the USS Vandegrift (FFG-48) which is an Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate. The Department of the Navy pulled its support for the show due to the ship's captain writing a scathing letter to the Secretary of the Navy outlining the way in which these people conducted themselves as guests. The way they portrayed the men and women in uniform had nothing to do with it losing support.

In correction to the above statement. Part of the filming was conducted on the USS John F. Kennedy, in Nov. 1987. (John F. Kennedy then commenced an upkeep period that lasted until November 1987, during which time American Broadcasting Company (ABC) film crews came on board to film the motion picture “Supercarrier.” http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/j3/john_f_kennedy.htm)
