Corrected entry: In the scenes where the aircraft are launching from the carrier to meet the attacking Japanese force, there is a shot from the little glass roofed room on the deck of a plane getting launched on the catapult. As the camera pans from the side to the front of this shot following the plane, you will see that when the camera is pointing towards the front of this little glass bubble room, there are cracks in the glass that look like bullet holes. What is that? It's only in one pane and it looks like one or more bullets were shot through there. It has nothing to do with the movie as they never take any direct attack, and I find it odd that any operational carrier would be out on duty with prior unfixed battle wounds. Maybe the carrier they shot this on saw actual battle and then was retired and they left it like that for history's sake? (01:28:25)

Correction: The damage is caused by FOD (foreign object debris) kicked up by jet exhaust or a COD or E-2 prop blade. No carrier has been shot at directly since the second world war.
