"The Wackiest Ship in the Army" is a short-lived American television sitcom series that ran between 1965 & 1966 on NBC and was loosely based on the 1960 film The Wackiest Ship in the Army (film) starring Jack Lemmon.
The series was set in the Pacific theater of World War II and centered around the crew of the USS "Kiwi", a leaky wooden twin-masted schooner whose mission was to place spies behind Japanese lines. The "Kiwi" was jointly commanded by Major Simon Butcher (Jack Warden) and Lieutenant Richard "Rap" Riddle (Gary Collins).
Guest stars over the 29 episodes of the series included:
* Jill Ireland
* Robert Loggia
* Harry Morgan
* Chips Rafferty
* George Takei.
Ship
* The USS "Kiwi" was based on the real-life USS "Echo", a 40 year old schooner or scow that was transferred from the New Zealand government to the US Navy in 1942, and returned to the New Zealand government in 1944.
