TRIVIA (5)
ADD TRIVIA-
Goof: The reason they blow up the ship is because the North Koreans also detected the probe and are on the way to the ship. Then later in Tree's of glass part 2, they say "what did Gunneson swim the 80 miles to shore" saying that the ship was only 80 miles off the coast of the USA. How could any Sub from a hostile country get that close to the USA at all? International waters don't start for 200 miles from the coast. or even that fast? Why could they not just tow the ship away.

Goof: The blood packs used when Gunneson is shot by Caffrey are visible underneath his shirt.
