"Away All Boats" is a 1956 American war film produced by Universal Pictures. It was directed by Joseph Pevney and produced by Howard Christie from a screenplay by Ted Sherdeman based on the novel by Kenneth M. Dodson.

The film stars Jeff Chandler, George Nader, Lex Barker, Julie Adams, Keith Andes, Richard Boone with early appearances by Clint Eastwood and David Janssen.

The first choice for Chandler's role was Clark Gable who turned the film down.

The movie was filmed aboard the USS "Randall". It is most notable for its realistic and terrifying depictions of Japanese kamikaze attacks on U.S. Navy ships during the last year of World War II in the Pacific Theatre.

"Away All Boats" is one of the few films made in VistaVision at a studio other than Paramount.
