The mistake you're adding a timecode for is:
| film title | Battleship |
|---|---|
| Mistake | The USS Missouri is a 68-year-old museum ship. Only a few museum ships are still able to sail under their own power. The USS Missouri, however, is not one of them, and could never have left port. There is no fuel on board, corrosion has done serious damage to the rotor blades and controls, and if one was to try and refire the boilers, they would surely explode. Also, there is no ammunition on board, plus all controls have been stripped, and all tubes and barrels blocked to prevent dirt from damaging them. Therefore, it cannot ever fire a shot again. Though it was renovated in 2010, it was mostly to prevent it from rusting away and sinking. [The Missouri is still seaworthy and she can and does leave port, just not under he own power. For the filming of "Battleship", the filmmakers took advantage of one of the times Missouri was towed from port via tugboat. If restocked, refueled and remanned, Missouri could certainly sail under her own power. It would just take a heck of a lot more than as shown in the film. Details here.] |
