Bounce - S6-E16

Visible crew/equipment: While Tony and Renny are alone in Interrogation, in the closeup Renny explains he and Grady were friends, and he just wanted to find out why Grady testified against him.

Agent Afloat - S6-E2

Trivia: Season 6, "Agent Afloat": Maybe real aircraft carriers posing as fictional ones shouldn't let viewers see their registration numbers. When this episode aired, producers heard from several "carrier purists" complaining that CVN74 is the U.S.S. John C. Stennis, not the (non-existent) Seahawk.
