These are just some of the uniform discrepancies, I noticed. I am sure there were more.
1. The CO wore LCDR shoulder boards and CDR collar devices. 2. No officer, besides the CO had gold chin straps on their covers. All officers are supposed to have the gold chin straps on their covers. 3. While wearing the summer white uniform, the COB wore LT collar devices. 4. While wearing the summer white uniform, the Intel Captain wore Perry Officer First Class collar devices. 5. The Intel Captain, although it was apparent that he had never been on a submarine, wore dolphins on his poopy suit (coveralls). 6. All of the the submarine line officers were wearing Supply Corps Officer dolphins instead of the Submarine Line Officer dolphins.
Another note: The Conning Officer (also known as the Officer of the Deck) gives the Diving Officer of the Watch (Dive) depth orders. The Dive's mission is to Reach and Maintain Ordered Depth, period. One exception is when diving the boat, then the dive has control of the speed and course. In the movie, the Dive was controlling depth, speed and course all of the time. That is wrong.
They had an Ensign Doctor onboard.
1. Independent Duty Corpsman go to sea on subs, not doctors. 2. Doctors are promoted to LT upon getting their doctor credentials. There are no Ensign doctors.
I could go on and on but I am sure everyone gets the point. If you cannot get the little things correct, how are you going to get the "big flic" right.
