Visible crew/equipment: In all the President Kennedy White House shots, you can see the boom mic peak down several times. Look for the group shots, and the boom mic will be there.

Continuity: The Pierce fires its guns to clear the barrels of the already loaded starshell. This is technically correct but when the starshells burst there are four of them i.e. the same as the number of gun barrels on the Pierce. Earlier however, when the Pierce first confronts the Grozny, there is a shot in the 5in gun turret showing at least one barrel being loaded with practice shell (i.e. solid shot). The Captain reports to the Admiral that the guns are loaded.

Continuity: On the Pentagon the plot shows the USS John R Pierce intercepting the two Soviet ship but the marker on the plot says DD722 (it is upside down). DD722 was the USS Barton whilst the Pierce is correctly shown in the external shots as DD753.
