Trivia
The film utilized 600 extras.

Although the movie never comes out and says it, Alex Hopper was enlisted in the Navy before he became an officer. The movie gives clues to it, as one of Hopper's warfare device on his uniform is silver, and in several scenes, a tattoo of a "mustang" can be seen on his right forearm. A Mustang is a term used for officers that are prior enlisted.

Goofs
Many shipmates address Chief Petty Officer Walter Lynch as "Beast". It is not proper Navy protocol for a CPO to be addressed by a nickname while on duty. They should address him as either Chief or Chief Lynch.

Q
Why was singer Rihanna cast in this movie?
A
Director Peter Berg said "I spent a lot of time in the Navy thinking about who would make sense and who would bring an urban swagger to this character...put a call in, had a great couple of meetings, and she's a great girl, really hard-working, very smart, wants to be good, really strong work ethic, no attitude, no diva nonsense. She was great." Incidentally, Rihanna was originally considering joining the Navy prior to being a singer.
