In addition to the Pearl Harbor and [[San Francisco Bay Area]] locations, including the ''Caine'' steaming back and forth several times under the [[Golden Gate Bridge]], the romantic subplot features scenes shot on location at [[Yosemite National Park]].<ref name="CMH">{{cite web |title=Facts about The Caine Mutiny |url=http://www.classicmoviehub.com/facts-and-trivia/film/the-caine-mutiny-1954/page/2/ |website=www.classicmoviehub.com |publisher=Classic Movie Hub |access-date=29 March 2020}}</ref>

The {{USS|Rodman|DD-456|6}}, a {{sclass|Gleaves|destroyer|0}} [[destroyer minesweeper]], was one of the ships chosen to represent the USS ''Caine'' in the film. The ''Rodman'' had one less smokestack than the actual {{sclass|Clemson|destroyer|1}}s on which Wouk served, and had more anti-aircraft guns. Completed in 1941, she was a much more modern ship than the 1918-manufactured ''Clemson''-class destroyer minesweepers had been. True to the theme of the novel, the actual minesweepers of Wouk's service, the {{USS|Zane|DD-337|2}} and the {{USS|Southard|DD-207|2}}, were both outdated ships by the time the film was made. The ''Zane'' was retired shortly after the war, and the ''Southard'' was scuttled in October 1945 after running aground in Okinawa with Wouk serving as Executive Officer. One of the primary inspirations for the book and the movie came from Wouk's experience as second in command of the ''Southard'' when she ran aground in Okinawa as a result of [[Typhoon Ida (1945)|Typhoon Ida]] in September 1945.<ref>{{cite web|title=USS Rodman|url=https://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/ship-histories/danfs/r/rodman.html|publisher=Naval History and Heritage Command|access-date=14 May 2020}}</ref><ref name="Janes-73">{{cite Jane's||310|1973 ships}}</ref><ref>Description of the ship ''Southard'' in the typhoon in Wouk, Herman, ''The Caine Mutiny'', (1953) Little, Brown and Company, Boston, New York, London, pp. 344–57</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last=Carpenter |first=Frederick I. |title=Herman Wouk |journal=College English |date=January 1956 |volume=17 |issue=4 |pages=211–215 |doi=10.2307/371577 |jstor=371577 |url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/371577 |accessdate=22 June 2020}}</ref>

Columbia claimed that the film contained the longest continuous courtroom scene without a cut, running to 977 feet, surpassing a scene in ''[[The Life of Emile Zola]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Inside Stuff - Pictures|magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=August 26, 1953|page=17|url=https://archive.org/details/variety191-1953-08/page/n210/mode/1up?view=theater|access-date=March 14, 2024|via=[[Internet Archive]]}}</ref>
