In C.S. Forester's book The Good Shepherd, the flotilla leader is identified as a Mahan class destroyer: USS Keeling. In the movie adaptation, set in early 1942, the destroyer is identified as a Fletcher class destroyer. This would not have been possible as the Fletcher class was not first placed into service until late summer 1942 and most all Fletchers were either immediately dispatched for service in the Pacific or were assigned to "high value" convoys (troop transports, invasion forces, etc.).
