(at around 2h 5 mins) In a scene shortly after the Pearl Harbor attack is finished, FDR asks his assembled military staff if it is true that they can still hear trapped sailors tapping on the hull of the USS Arizona. A general replies that yes, they can, but they can't get to them because they're 40 feet underwater. The USS Arizona was completely destroyed by a bomb, and many who had survived were able to get off the ship as it was still upright. The better reply would have corrected FDR that the Arizona was a total loss, or that he meant the USS Oklahoma; it was the capsized Oklahoma that was the centerpiece of many post-attack efforts to rescue the men trapped inside the hull.
