    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The veterans of the U.S.S. Missouri that Stone Hopper mentions are real life vets of the U.S.S. Missouri. Some served in World War II.
    • Goofs
      When the full reverse command was given, an underwater view showed the propellers reversing their rotation. Arleigh Burke destroyers utilize reversible pitch propellers and therefore do not change their rotational direction during reversing maneuvers, they simply change the pitch of the blades to provide reversing thrust.
    • Quotes
      • [after Hopper's tactic destroys the alien ship]
      • Captain Yugi Nagata: I can't believe that worked!
      • Alex Hopper: Yeah, Art of War, "fight the enemy where they aren't." After all these years, that finally just clicked.
      • Captain Yugi Nagata: But that's not what it means.
      • Alex Hopper: ...Really?
      • Captain Yugi Nagata: Not even close.
    • Crazy credits
      There is an additional final scene after the end credits.
