In the book, the central ship the USS Keeling (call sign Greyhound), was of the Mahan class. In the movie, however, the titular ship is portrayed as being of the Fletcher class. This may have been chosen because much of the filming was done on the USS Kidd, a Fletcher-class museum ship still maintained in its WW2-configuration, because the silhouette of the heavily-engaged Fletcher class is iconic to most fans of WW2 naval history, or because there were almost ten times as many Fletchers built as Mahans. But while the Mahans were all in service before World War II, the first Fletcher class vessels was not introduced into service until the middle of 1942, which is after the February 1942 date in which the movie is set. (similarly, the HMS James/Harry looks like it was modeled on a British Battle-class destroyer, which did not enter service until 1944).
