Other mistake: During the attack on Pearl Harbour we see a sailor burn both hands on some metal in front of him on the USS Arizona. However, when we see them looking at the hole in the deck caused by the Japanese bomb, other people are able to touch the metal with no ill effects. (00:12:30)

Suggested correction: I just had the chance to watch the movie again. It says "Rear" not "Real" as alleged in this entry.

I watched just now and my version also shows "Real" rather than "Rear." Perhaps this was fixed only in some releases.

What version did you watch? I see "Rear." Perhaps a screenshot is needed.

Factual error: At the end of the movie, a Willys is shown with an inscription on the back: "Left hand drive vehicle." The scene takes place in Midway or Pearl Harbour. This inscription on the vehicle was only for the US forces in England beginning in 1944.

Question: At the end it shows Dick Best coming off the Enterprise with the rank of Lt. Commander when he started the battle with the rank of Lieutenant. Did he get a promotion during the battle?
