Convoy
Convoy is a 13-episode NBC drama set during World War II that aired in 1965–1966. The series starred John Gavin as Commander Dan Talbot of the US Navy destroyer escort "DD181" and John Larch as civilian merchant Captain Ben Foster of the cargo ship "Flagship," who were involved with convoy ships and their escorts during the Battle of the Atlantic. Linden Chiles played Steve Kirk, while James T. Callahan was Lieutenant O'Connell. The cast included Dennis Hopper, Jack Palance, Barbara Rush, James Doohan, Leslie Nielsen, Horst Ebersberg, Harold Gould, and Jeremy Slate. Due to stock material, Convoy was one of the final NBC series in black and white. As a result, some NBC affiliates declined to approve the program, which failed to climb out of the Nielsen bottom 10. The show started on Sept.17,1965, and ended on Dec. 10.
