Well, basically.

The Navy even managed to make Paramount Pictures pay for the privilege of taking footage of aircraft carriers and their fighters in action.

Paramount tried to renegotiate the payment by offering to let the Navy play a recruiting video or something silly in theaters, but the Navy quite wisely opted out of that, as the movie is already a recruiter's dream all by itself.

That's par for the course in the film industry really. Nothing's ever free.
