The Navy Blues Sextet were the winners of a contest in which U.S. soldiers were asked to pick the six most beautiful women from a field of 150, many of whom were Warner Bros. contract actresses. The winners were Georgia Carroll, Alexis Smith, Loraine Gettman (John Amero), Kay Aldridge, Marguerite Chapman and Peggy Diggins. Smith was replaced by Claire James after she was assigned a role in Bombardiers en piqué (1941).
The song being played by the band during the awards ceremony (near the end of the movie) is "Semper Paratus" - the official song of United State Coast Guard.
