(at around 1h 35 mins) When Doris Miller starts firing the anti-aircraft gun about the USS West Virginia, there are several mistakes. First the ship seen alongside the West Virginia is a Knox class fast frigate, which did not enter the fleet until 1965. Second, the Knox class frigates do not even closely resemble a battleship of the time, and the only ship alongside the West Virginia in Battleship Row during the attack was her sister ship, the USS Tennessee. Third, the Knox frigate appears to be the outboard ship in the row. The West Virginia was the outboard ship which is why she took so many torpedo hits, and this had also been established several times in the torpedo attack sequences.
