When the situation escalates toward the end of the film, the U.S. Navy is seen deploying Iowa-class battleships to Rockwell. According to the hull number on the ship's bow, it is the U.S.S. "New Jersey" (BB-62). However, while the "New Jersey" indeed existed during this time, it had been decommissioned for months by the time of the film's setting; the ship was decommissioned in August of 1957, while the film is set in October. Furthermore, the ship is depicted in the way that it would have looked only in the 1980s, as evinced by the anachronistic electronics fitted on the ship during its appearance. The Iowa-class battleship following it is also a reused copy of the "New Jersey," down to the hull number being the same; clearly inaccurate as there was no other battleship numbered '62.'
