Airing for four seasons on ABC from October 11, 1962, to April 12, 1966, McHale's Army was a lighthearted sitcom that followed the exploits of a Navy PT boat crew during the Second World War. With Lieutenant Commander Quinton McHale, portrayed by Ernest Borgnine, taking command, the band of misfits that manned PT-73 often broke regulations whenever it suited them while fending off enemy attacks on the Pacific Island base of Taratupa.
It's been 57 years since McHale's Navy went off the air, so naturally, the majority of people who worked on the series have since passed away.
Just recently one of the last cast members of the iconic series, Yoshio Yoda, died at the age of 88. Yoda was a Japanese-born American actor who is best known for playing Fuji Kobiashi on McHale's Navy. He was born in Tokyo on March 31, 1934, and died in Fullerton, California, on January 13, 2023.
Following Yoda's passing, there is only one surviving McHale's Navy cast member. Watch this video to learn all about Bobby Wright, Yoshio Yoda, and the other prominent cast members of McHale's Navy.
