Trivia
While the show was available for streaming on Netflix (prior to January 1st, 2017) this episode was not included, but the episode's description was accidentally attached to the next episode in the season. There is no obvious answer as to why this was done, or if it was intentional at all.

Goofs
A radio announcer telling the news says that former Preisdent Bill Clinton is celebrating his 72 birthday. Given that the show (season one) takes place in the early 2020's and that Clinton was born in 1956, that would place Bill Clinton in his mid 60's inside the series time frame.

It was very interesting to see roy schieder's captain being hauled over the coals by the senior navy personnel, clearly they did not believe that he was the man for the job of stopping a rogue submarine, he proves them right in a way by resigning, only they don't know what he has actually done. you may find yourself asking whether schieder was right as the submarine has killed many people including civilians; is schieder doing what he thinks is right or is he just running away? this aspect of the plot is tense and involving as you can't wait to see how far schieder will really go. i felt that the comedy plot involving the smuggling of fake meat was just cheap filler compared to the real moral dilemma, although it did make me smile a few times.
