We mentioned this earlier, but there is now a trailer and gCaptain has a release date, 29 Jan., 2016.
There is also an earlier telling of the story here.
Undoubtably, USCGC Webber will have to get a copy of this on Blu-Ray.

Hi….Just a quick request….if anyone remembers my dad, Jack Cervone, he served on LST 274..could u please contact me at cervonej@yahoo.com. Thank you and God Bless all of you.
Why do all the online promos and news articles (to date) refer to a Captain Webber? I understand he was the coxswain, but I thought he was enlisted.
Can’t answer for the studio, He was enlisted. Here is a short biography. http://www.uscg.mil/history/people/WebberBernard/WebberBernardCbio.asp
He was enlisted but as the boat coxswain he was “Captain” of MLB 36500 out there.
I guess the studio does not know the nuances. A Coast Guard film adviser could point that out.
Should be a great movie.
The commanding officer of a commissioned vessel is referred to as “Captain” regardless of rank. The operator of a boat is a coxswain never a captain. Boats attached to a small boat station are like cars in a motor pool. They are manned and operated by the duty boat crew. A good coxswain is invaluable, I’m not belittling boat drivers. But Naval and Coast Guard tradition would never refer to a coxswain as Captain of the boat. Surely Disney must have had CG technical advisers.
Maybe Disney just doesn’t like the word “coxswain.”
AL.Com is reporting the release of a trailer for “Paratus 14:50”, a documentary on the Coast Guard’s Katrina efforts, produced by students at the University of Alabama. The documentary will be televised on Alabama Public Television at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26, and 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30.
