Added DiffLines:

* AnachronismStew: At the end of the cartoon, three Battleships are shown sailing together in a line: the first is identified as the ''USS Connecticut'', the second is identified as ''USS Mississippi'', and the third is the ''USS California'' (which, naturally, [[SingleSeasonCountry is the only one the sun is shining on]]). At the time the cartoon was released, the ''Connecticut'' (BB-18) had been scrapped in 1923 (and as a ''Pre-Dreadnought'' it was obsolete anyway), and the ''California'' (BB-44) had been sunk at Pearl Harbor (though probably after the scene had been animated); only the ''Mississippi'' (BB-41) was in active service at the time.


Added DiffLines:

* ItsAwlaysSunnyInMiami: Referenced in the final scene in the cartoon as a sight gag- if it's always sunny in California, it's always sunny on the ''USS California''!


Added DiffLines:

* SingleSeasonCountry: Referenced via sight gag at the end of the cartoon, when the ''USS California'' is shown in perpetual sunlight, even when the rest of the fleet is in the middle of a storm.
