Why a maritime Band of Brothers is difficult

Why has television not produced a Band of Brothers-style series centered on a warship or naval unit?

Naval warfare offers less continuous contact and longer intervals between major actions, making a single-unit sea narrative harder to sustain than an infantry or bomber story.

A warship does not normally encounter the enemy with the regularity of a front-line infantry formation. Long stretches between actions can make the combat arc of a single ship difficult to shape into an episode-by-episode drama. A bomber-unit story is more likely to precede a naval equivalent because repeated sorties give writers a clearer recurring structure. The difficulty lies in narrative pacing, not a shortage of compelling naval history.
