Wargames and best Dress uniforms

The realities of conducting naval warfare exercises (with Marines) on US soil (it tends to upset the locals, who exercise their military-protected freedoms to demonstrate - go figure!) triggers a set of circumstances which bring a steadily-escalating seniority of JAG (and eventually politician) staff onto the USS "Wake Island".

Eventually Harm figures out what has been done - and Bud loves the dress worn by pregnant Harriett to the gala event with the assistance of Rene.

Trivia
As the protester's zodiac approaches a shot shows the island of the "Wake Island." The number is 62. This is the island of a Forrestal class super carrier, the USS Independence.

Goofs
For the exercise off the coast of Florida, Marines are shown landing on a beach with mountains in the background. The high point in Florida is only 345 feet above sea level with the nearest mountains in Georgia.

Quotes
Bud: Is there something the matter, dear?
Lt. Harriet Sims: This dress makes me look so fat.
Bud: Honey, you're pregnant.
Bud: You're supposed to look fat.
Lt. Harriet Sims: How fat am I supposed to look, bud? Like a station wagon? Like a blimp? Like Mount Washington? What?
