I watched that for the umteenth time a couple of months back...a great movie.
Recently came across a spoiler site for the film and was deeply embarrassed at what I missed/overlooked.
One example: The Graf Spee is represented by USS Salem which has three triple gun turrets - yet in the Captain's cabin is a photograph of the real Graf Spee which had just two turrets. Likewise, HMS Ajax is represented by a Sheffield class cruiser with four triple gun turrets - yet in the fire control area there are just eight lights to indicate guns ready to fire.
