Season 8 Trivia

The case made national news that summer, a few months before this episode fi

Episode 03 - Goof (factual errors): The case involves a female Navy pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Minnesota; there is no such vessel. Nowadays, state names are used in the US Navy for submarines, not for aircraft carriers.
