Ensign O'Toole Classic TV Collection
Ensign O'Toole is a military comedy that aired on NBC from September
23, 1962, to May 5, 1963,
with Dean Jones in the title role of a nonchalant United States Navy
ensign during the early 1960s.
Jones played an officer aboard the fictional U.S. Navy destroyer USS
Appleby, which roamed the Pacific Ocean.
Ensign O'Toole was based on All the Ships at Sea and Ensign O'Toole
and Me, two books by William Lederer,
who served as a consultant on the series. Though there was no second
season of production, Ensign O'Toole
was repeated on NBC through September 15, 1963, and ABC aired reruns
of the show in 1964.

executive officer who delivered
orders from the ship's unseen captain, heard only over speakers
