Line 80:
*Sibitsky was a [[w:Boatswain's mate (United States Navy)|Boatswain's mate]], not a Quarter Master.
*McCann – who was a Lieutenant Commander, not a Commander – did not operate the bell personally.<ref>[https://exhibits.mclibrary.duke.edu/uss_squalus/shilling-narrative%3Fpage=7.html We Rescue The Men From The U. S. S. Squalus, by Lt. Comdr. C. W. Shilling (MC) USN (page 8)]</ref> We can't blame this one on Marvel UK, as that is straight up just a drawing of McCann in panel 5 of page 5. The bell is also depicted as a lot more spacious than it was in real life.
*Wikipedia cites the 1975 book "Silent Victory: The U.S. Submarine War Against Japan" by [[w:Clay Blair|Clay Blair Jr.]] as revealing that the ''Sculpin'' crewmembers killed on the Japanese cargo boat were not actually part of the crew that helped rescue ''Squalus''.
====Other errors====
*The translated script notes multiple buoys being released from ''Squalus'', though only one is depicted by the artwork.
