CC- what are some of the technical issues? (Aside from them using parachutes as sails; giving them 4 knots of speed.)
Edit- also what's with the water shortage? They said they had 3000 gallons and there are 200 crew members. Given the "sea water only shaves", that is 15 gallons per person per day. In 100 degree heat I can see going through a gallon per day, which should give them 2 weeks; not 3 days.

One of the biggest was the first one when the Russian helicopters attacked the ship, and were gunning missiles at it from a length of less then a football field. First of all the ship took minimal damage, second of all, if they were unidentified even, or unidentified hostile they would have been dead pretty much over the horizon.
I'm assuming that they use water for systems cooling including the engines. 3000 gallons isn't that much.
In the episode where the Russian ship appeared and spoofed as a British ship. No commander worth his salt would have believed that without positive electronic signature identification. At the very least they would have lofted the helicopter to do a inspection flight (They still have the helcopter iirc.
Its just little things but it bugs me.
