1	* {{Defictionalization}}: From 2004 to 2007, the US Navy actually conducted training exercises where they were up against a single diesel submarine. Granted that the sub they trained against wasn't a [=WW2=] derelict (the Swedish Navy's [[CoolShip Gotland]] is rather state of the art), the idea itself was the same, fighting against a single sub that was much harder to detect due to its non nuclear nature.
2	* MissingTrailerScene:
3	** A brief clip of R.J. boarding the ''Stingray'', high-fiving the rest of the crew as he goes. Spots also had Stepanek's "What's our mission, rescue Gilligan?" at first.
4	** Lt. Lake water-skiing from a surfaced ''Stingray''.
5	** Buckman and Lake get wedged into a narrow sub doorway.
6	-->'''Buckman:''' You ever hear of the [[MileHighClub mile-deep club]]?\
7	'''Lake:''' You ever hear of [[FatSlob a salad bar]]?
8	* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/KelseyGrammer as Lieutenant Commander Dodge. Many of Grammer's roles tend to be straight-laced intellectuals. Dodge, by comparison, is a MilitaryMaverick who takes to the whole "think like a pirate" thing like a duck to water.
9	* RealSongThemeTune: "In the Navy" by the Music/VillagePeople is played over the end credits with a new music video shot from cut footage for the trailer and new scenes filmed for the video itself.
10	* ThrowItIn: After Lieutenant Lake kisses Commander Dodge, she bumps her elbow on the way out of his room. This was a real flub that the director decided to leave in.
11	** Creator/PattonOswalt had to leave filming two weeks early so he could start a writing gig on ''Series/MadTV1995''. Unconcerned, David Ward filmed Patton walking away from his station down the passageway of the submarine up to the stern. He's never seen again. [[ItAmusedMe Ward decided to just confuse the audience for a laugh]].
12	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/TomArnold was offered the leading role at first, but turned it down for another project (most likely, and ironically, ''Film/McHalesNavy''). He later said that he felt that Kelsey was the better choice.
