Frozen strawberries have a density of Xn=.012, while sand displacement equals the amount of air in the interstice equal to .43Rs, therefore the officers actually ate more strawberries than were in the gallon can. Queeg was wrong, and the messboys did not eat the strawberries because the strawberries did not exist. I have proven this through incontrovertible logic.

Heavens to Murgatroid! Love this movie! THANKS for sharing this cool clip with us! So many familiar faces in this scene alone! One of the best WWII dramas to come out of Hollywood! Top notch in EVERY dept....cast, script, music, art direction, photography, etc!

It's really a mixed bag; Queeg was far from a good Captain and was unable to face the consequences of his mistakes, but the crew didn't make it any easier on him either.

Sand does not equal strawberries...

Most organisations have a Queeg among them!

Was there a 1937 cheese investigation?

This reminds me of the cherry-picking "logic" of science-deniers who are absolutely sure there's a conspiracy against their "right" to not pay taxes for environmental regulations, etc.

There are only two basic types of strawberries: 1) wild strawberries, about 1-2cm in height, slightly less in beam; 2) farmed strawberries, twice the dimensions. They are obviously talking about store-bought institutional-can strawberries. Therefore the ball-bearings are a good approximation.

I had an xo like this back in 2003 it was rough to say the least! And our co had no balls to stop the maniacal treatment.

LOL.You should be an Admiral.

I would have used ball bearings instead of sand. :3

I know of a boss like this guy. Talk about working in a fucked up environment.
