* EpicShipOnShipAction: Not just big battles, but also surface raiding, cruiser actions, and Anti-Submarine Warfare.

* {{March}}: The Guadalcanal March is a recurring theme that plays whenever the Americans are building, organizing, or preparing for a big battle. [[EarWorm You'll probably be humming along by the end of the show]].

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: There is no pretence of objectivity; Allies are good, Axis are bad and that is that. Of course, this is one of the few wars where that would almost be appropriate, but in RealLife it was closer to BlackAndGrayMorality, considering that the Allies included half of the signatories of the Nazi-[[UsefulNotes/HistoryOfTheUSSR Soviet]] pact.

* ValuesResonance: Often, the series will take a moment to focus on women working in the factories, African-American or Asian-American sailors and soldiers, etc. This happens often enough that one suspects it's being done on purpose, to push back against the stereotypes of the time and remind of the contribution of ALL Americans.
