(at around 39 mins) When the Japanese are shown planning the attack, there is a scene showing several models in the water, including one representing a repair ship, USS Vestal, that was moored alongside the Arizona on December 6 to assist in some repairs. There was no way for the Japanese to know ahead of time she would be there. The filmmakers may have been confused by a well-known photograph of a Japanese scale model of Pearl Harbor being arranged by workers, and which featured the Vestal; the photograph was frequently mistaken for being that of a model used to plan the attack, while the truth was that it was made for a Japanese propaganda film about the attack.
