Trivia

The fictional aircraft carrier is USS Patrick Henry (CVN-74). The real USS Patrick Henry was the second Polaris submarine, SSBN-599, of the George Washington class, commissioned in 1958, converted to an attack boat, SSN-599, in 1982, and decommissioned in 1984. The real CVN-74 is USS John Stennis, of the Nimitz class, commissioned in 1995 and still in service.

Goofs

After Harm and Skates encounter serious problems with both the weather and their Tomcat, at one point he asks her for the nearest point of land, and she answers, "Cape Fear, estimate 100 miles due east". If Cape Fear were 100 miles due east of them, they'd be near Johnsonville, South Carolina, between Florence and Myrtle Beach. Cape Fear is about 100 miles due WEST, not east, of their position.
