Alex Hopper: We only have one round left?
Captain Yugi Nagata: Correct.
Alex Hopper: It was an honor to serve with you, Captain.
Captain Yugi Nagata: The honor was mine.
Cal Zapata: If there is intelligent life out there and they come here, it's going to be like Columbus and the Indians, only we're the Indians.
Alex Hopper: Where did we find him?
Crew Member: Just fished him right out of the water.
Admiral Shane: Prepare to fire.
Crew member: Sir, which weapons?
Admiral Shane: All of them.
Suggested correction: It's a non issue, it was a massive international naval exercise, Good chance of more than one carrier participating. In fact, every picture of an actual rimpac exercise has multiple carriers visible. Just because 1 carrier isn't in flight readiness mode doesn't mean that others aren't. Might explain why he ordered every plane in the air but there's what? Only 3 that actually save Mighty Mo.
True there may been more carriers but you are being attacked and invaded no flag officer would leave his deck cluttered they would be at battle stations for sure.
