Convoy is a 13-episode American TV show set during World War II. It aired on NBC during the 1965–1966 television season. John Gavin played Commander Dan Talbot of the US Navy destroyer escort "DD181," and John Larch played civilian merchant Captain Ben Foster of the cargo ship "Flagship." Both men were involved with the convoy ships and their escorts that helped move food, supplies, and war materials across the Atlantic during the Battle of the Atlantic. Linden Chiles played Steve Kirk, and Lieutenant O'Connell was played by James T. Callahan, who was in ABC's Wendy and Me. Dennis Hopper, Jack Palance, Barbara Rush, James Doohan, Leslie Nielsen, Horst Ebersberg, Harold Gould, and Jeremy Slate all appeared as guest stars. Convoy was one of the last NBC shows to be in black and white. Since it used stock footage, it couldn't be in color. Because of this, several NBC affiliates refused to clear the show, and it stayed in the "bottom10" in the Nielsen ratings. The first episode of the show was on September17,1965, and the last one was on December10, 1965.
