Continuity: During the dogfight with the Japanese Zeroes, the ordnance hung on the two F-14s' weapon stations keep changing. For the weapons to change, the airplanes would have had to land and re-arm about four times during the two-minute dogfight.
Continuity: When Lasky heads toward the conning tower, an F8 Crusader is shown at left (and the helicopter nose has a number "3" on it). As he is led inside the tower, the camera pans up, and now the Crusader is gone, replaced by an AWACS Hawkeye (and the number "3" on the heli is gone, too).
