Factual error: When Loretta fist sees the body of the sailor she states the tattoo is fresh and cites the "irritation" to the skin around the tattoo. Later, she and Dr Mallard establish the tattoo was administered 3 hours after death, making the signs of irritation to the skin impossible.
Revealing mistake: In the forensics lab Carol Wilson is saying to others that the rat caught on the ship is healthy. In the ensuing conversation the respirators they are wearing are so ill fitting as to be pointless - Carol's mask does not even touch her nose. (00:26:00 - 00:27:00)
Factual error: At beginning of the episode during the evening a marine gets hit by a taxi. Titles. Pride arrives to look at the scene with the M.E. present and it is during the middle of the day, going by the shadows of the onlookers. Sure they would not leave a dead marine lying in the street for that long? (00:01:00 - 00:04:00)

Factual error: In one early scene (maybe third or fourth of the episode) Special Agent LaSalle greets and shakes hands with a sailor he knows, a U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer. The CPO is wearing a gold surface warfare insignia, which is an Officer's device. A CPO should be wearing a silver insignia. Later in the episode the the same Chief Petty Office is shown close up, still wearing a gold pin, not a silver one.
Plot hole: To identify the owner of a severed leg, Pride asks Loretta if she can guesstimate the body's general build by the foot's boot size. A much simpler way would be to swab for blood where the leg was severed and run it through the military DNA database.
Answer: It should also be noted, just because someone owns a small business (in this case a bar) doesn't mean they're rich, or they had to be rich or make enough money from another job in order to afford it. Banks provide small business loans and having steady employment, good credit history, solid business plan, etc would allow someone to get a loan. Most business owners even say they "own" whatever bar, restaurant, store, or business they run even if it's leased or mortgaged.

A proprietor may lease a building but they do own the business that is housed within it.
