Don't Give Up the Ship is a comedy directed by Norman Taurog and starring Jerry Lewis. It was filmed from October 21, 1958 to January 30, 1959, and released on July 3, 1959 by Paramount Pictures.

On his wedding day, John Paul Steckler VII (Jerry Lewis), is tracked down by Navy officers for having misplaced the navy destroyer-escort, USS Kornblatt, following World War II. He is charged with finding it, and through a series of comedic capers told through flashbacks, the viewer follows him along during his pursuit.[edit]Plot

[edit]Production

The USS Vammen was used to portray the fictional ship the USS Kornblatt. Previously the USS Stembel (DD-644) was listed as the ship portraying the Kornblatt, but this was an error. The Stembel was a Fleet Destroyer, the Vammen (DE-644) a Destroyer-Escort.
