Other mistake: During one of the shark attacks, water is falling on the ocean suggesting a rain shower, while overhead there is nothing but clear blue sky.
Other mistake: Sloppy animation: In the opening scene, the propeller of one of the Japanese planes stops just as it rolls into its dive.
Factual error: Before departure, Captain McNeely asks if the ship's mission has anything to do with the Manhattan Project. The Manhattan Project was highly classified, and it is doubtful that McNeely had heard the project's name. In fact, there is historical debate as to whether or not he knew what the cargo was that he was carrying.
Admiral Parnell: President Truman has chosen you and your crew to lead a highly classified mission.
Trivia: In his address to his crew, Nicholas Cage says "Without me, you are worthless. You are my crew. And without you, I am worthless." This line is borrowed from Full Metal Jacket (1987): "Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless."
