Victory at Sea - Embossed Slim Tin

"In war, resolution. In defeat, defiance. In victory, magnanimity. In peace, good will." -- Winston Churchill
Emmy winning VICTORY AT SEA originally aired Sunday afternoons on the NBC network. It was the creation of Harry Salomon, a former Navy man who had assisted in writing a 15 volume History of United States Naval Operations in World War II. Technical advice for the series was provided by Walter Karig, an ex-Navy captain who also authored WWII volumes, but is best remembered, especially by fans of producer/director William Castle, for his 1947 novel, ZOTZ!

Broadway's Richard Rodgers provided twelve themes for this series. In 1953, Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein used his "Beneath the Southern Cross" theme (heard in three episodes) for their musical ME AND JULIET, as the song "No Other Love (Have I)." It was that show's most memorable tune.
