Star Trek

Yes, that's correct. A&E.

Also, don't forget Master & Commander (2023).

For those who need more nautical nonsense, Black Sails is decent fun, but it's the characters and story that hold you, not the very unconvincing sets.

That's a Bolitho story?  And M&C is Hornblower-like?

To clarify, Forester, O'Brian, and Reeman/Kent seem to have produced highly similar stories about Royal Navy men and their adventures. To the best of my knowledge, there is extreme similarity between the stories told by O'Brian and Reeman/Kent.

Forester's hero was Horatio Hornblower. His series was published between 1937 and 1967 and translated to film in 1951 (Gregory Peck starring) and 1998-2003 (Ioan Gruffudd starring).

O'Brian's heroes were Jack Aubrey and his pal, surgeon-spy Stephen Maturin. His series was published between 1969 and 2004 and translated to film in 2003 as Master & Commander: Far Side of the World (Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany starring). In general, that film is universally praised for its realism. It was also just very good fun.

Under the pen name Alexander Kent, Douglas Reeman wrote the Bolitho series from 1975 to 2011.

In the last few years, James L. Haley produced a much smaller run of novels called the Putnam series focused on the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812 in particular, which were both good and unique.

There's a moment in the second episode of TNG, Naked Now, between Picard and Crusher -when Picard coughs weirdly- that makes no sense until you've seen the running joke in the Peck Hornblower movie...

Been up to something...
