McHale's Navy was a World War II television comedy series that aired from 1962-1966 on ABC and starred Ernest Borgnine as Lt.

Fuji Kobiaji (Yoshio Yoda) is a Japanese Sailor who deserted from the Imperial Japanese Navy, then befriended the PT-73 crew. Captain Wallace B. Binghamton (Joe Flynn) and Lt. Elroy Carpenter (Bob Hastings) are the constant antagonists of McHale and his crew. Seasons 1-3 are set on and around the fictional island of Taratupa in the South Pacific in 1943.
