In a mutiny/stand-off scene Capt. Frank Ramsey tells Lt. Commander Ron Hunter about Lipizzaner horses, (mispronouncing them as "Lippinzaner horses"); how those are "all white" and "from Portugal". Hunter corrects Ramsey with that the horses are from Spain and that those "are born black". Ramsey insists that they are from Portugal. At the very end scene, Ramsey volunteers to Hunter that Hunter is right; the horses are from Spain. However - both are wrong: The horses originate from town of Lipica in Slovenia (hence the name), and are nowadays bred in Slovenia, Austria, Italy and other countries. The Spain confusion is probably due to that the horses are closely associated with the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria, established in 1572, one of the riding schools where Lipizzans are trained. A Lippizaner is born black or bay, but turn gray when reaching maturity (not completely white).
