• Movie Goof (factual errors): SPOILER: When the destroyer escort turns after the U-boat following the first torpedo attack, the DE lowers its sonar dome. As that dome carries both the sonar transmitter and receiver, it would have had to be in the lower / operating position to be used in all the preceding scenes.
• Though set in the South Atlantic Ocean of World War II, this movie's ocean scenes were filmed in the Pacific Ocean.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): Right after the burial at sea sequence on board the rescue destroyer, you can see a watertight deck hatch rigged in the open position, with its escape scuttle also open. During wartime cruising, (Condition III) Navy Regulations require all watertight doors, hatches and scuttles on the weather decks to be closed while the ship is underway. Note: any deck exposed to the outside is classified as a "Weather deck".
• Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the Bridge game dummy is placed on the table before the opening lead. The correct sequence is: opening lead and then the dummy hand is shown.
