Trivia Edit

Take a close look at the flag behind the court-martial panel. It's a little bit out of date. Submitted by Earl Poulsen, 10/6/04.

The official flag of the United States, prior to July 4th, 1959 had 48 stars. Between July 4th, 1959 and July 3rd, 1960, the flag had 49 stars. The flag did not have 50 stars until July 4th, 1960. This was because of an executive order by President Eisenhower. In addition, all existing supplies of 48 or 49 star flags were to be used until unserviceable. So, it is entirely plausible that a 48 star flag could be displayed. It could not have been a 50 star flag because the episode was filmed before this flag was available. Read more here.

In the scene at the dock after the murder, small signs identify the USS Sawfish (SS-276) and the USS Moray. The hull number for the Moray is hard to spot but it looks like 301, 801 being too large. The SS-301 was actually the USS Roncador. The real USS Moray had hull number SS-300. The Sawfish and Roncador were based at San Pedro and used for training at the time the episode was probably filmed. Submitted by Steve Fox, 10/8/04.
