Dungaree Justice

It has been correctly pointed out that there was never a real guided missile cruiser named the Montana. But there *could* have been. The actual CGN-42 was planned, but it was canceled before construction, and it was never assigned a name. If it had gotten a name, it would have been named for a state, and therefore could have been named Montana. The number CGN-42 was never used. Interestingly, there were two different battleships that were assigned the name Montana, but both of them were canceled, one during construction and the second before construction ever began. As it turns out, a real U.S.S Montana, a nuclear submarine, was launched in September of 2020 and is scheduled for completion by late 2021.

While Harm and Mac investigate aboard the ship at sea, during two different interviews with two different enlisted men, the two sailors wear their ball caps while sitting at a table inside the wardroom. In the real world of the Navy, the sailors would or should know not to wear their covers while inside the wardroom, and, if they did so, by carelessness or otherwise, any officer present would have promptly reminded them to uncover. Wearing a cover inside a wardroom is a major mark of disrespect.
