USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage

Other mistake: During one of the shark attacks, water is falling on the ocean suggesting a rain shower, while overhead there is nothing but clear blue sky.

Other mistake: Sloppy animation: In the opening scene, the propeller of one of the Japanese planes stops just as it rolls into its dive.

Factual error: McVay gives the order to cease zigzagging, full speed ahead, but the Japanese sub commander gives the target speed of 12 knots for the torpedo solution. The Indianapolis was capable of a speed in excess of 30 knots.
