1* Pearl Harbor is (and was) home to more assets than most nations have in their entire military, and the only aircraft the Navy (in the movie) could send to intercept the Tomahawks was a single F/A-18C Hornet? If ''Nimitz''[='s=] aircraft were within striking range of ''Missouri'', F-14s from the same could easily have intercepted the Tomahawks.
2** This assumes the Nimitz was in the right position for it's planes to catch up to the missiles, rather than the much more simple task to launch a strike at the Missouri.
3'''Artistic License — Large Naval Boomsticks:'''
4* If the North Korean sub was that close to the ''Missouri'', the main gun should have been depressed rather than elevated, but what ''are'' the odds that you can successfully snipe a moving target that small with a 16"/50 caliber gun, anyway? Or is that just Gun Porn?
5** Speaking of the North Korean sub, where exactly did Strannix have that thing hidden after he hijacked it, anyway? Wouldn't somebody have noticed a rogue submarine chugging around?
6*** Everyone thought Stranix sank the sub.
