This show was originally to be an adventure drama, "Seven Against the Sea." It was re-tooled as a comedy and was very successful.
The star of the show originally turned down the role, figuring that as an Oscar-winning actor, TV would have been a bit of a demotion. But when talking with a young boy who didn't recognize him but who could name the stars of several TV shows, he decided to take the part, one for which he is probably best remembered.
Movie version of this show appeared in 1997. As these things usually go, the star of the TV show had a cameo role in the film.
Though Gavin McLeod had appeared in a number of TV shows before this, this was his first featured (not starring) role.

The action takes place during WWII, largely on a PT boat.

The top officer on the show was often disparagingly referred to as "old Leadbottom."
The star and one of the co-stars became good friends. They later worked together voicing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy on SpongeBob SquarePants
Finally. I didn't think it would be that hard. What gave it away?

I came back and looked at it fresh. I saw the comedy, on a World War 2 boat, and that narrowed it down in my head. There's only a few shows I've never seen that it could be. One was in the Navy.

C) The DC/Fawcett character must be Captain Marvel, now known as Shazam. I think the show is Beat Shazam George
