Goofs
The Enterprise crew are shocked to learn that their surprise capture may be due to a new cloaking technology possessed by the Romulans. Kirk and crew already encountered cloaked Romulans two years earlier in Balance of Terror (1966). However, the cloaking technology in The Enterprise Incident is new because it is improved. The Enterprise was still able to track a Romulan ship, though not accurately, in 'Balance of Terror' and cannot detect them at all with this improved version.

Quotes
Spock: [to the Romulan commander] Military secrets are the most fleeting of all. I hope that you and I... exchanged something more permanent.
