Revealing mistake: When the men are waiting at the dock and when boarding the submarine, we see the wide shot of the submarine and the dock. The ocean is, however, incredibly calm despite there being torrential rain happening throughout the scene on the dock. While it's not seen, this would be from a rain machine not able to cover the entire location of the shot. (00:13:51 - 00:16:38)

Continuity mistake: When Hunter is arguing with the captain, he is listing off points and raises his thumb and forefinger in points 1 and 2. When the shot changes, he has a closed fist. (00:57:00)

Hunter: Chief of the Boat.
Chief of the Boat: Sir?
Hunter: Thank you, COB.
Chief of the Boat: Thank you? Fuck you! Get it straight Mr Hunter, I'm not on your side. Now you could be wrong! But wrong or right, the Captain can't just replace you at will. That was completely improper! And that's why I did what I did. By the book.
Hunter: I thank you anyway.

Trivia: In the beginning of the movie, where it shows a rather scenic footage of the sub about to dive, the exact shot was also used in G.I. Jane. Note that Crimson Tide was directed by Tony Scott and GI Jane by brother Ridley. A bit of sibling teamwork?

Question: If the radio antenna was cut, how in the world did they get communication? It seems they were working on the radio on the sub, what good would that do if there was no antennae?

Chosen answer: The ship has a second antenna, but the radio is damaged during the torpedo attack. Therefore they have to fix it in order to use the backup antenna.
