* {{Misblamed}}: Bud’s brother Mike Roberts is blamed for firing CIWS rounds a little too close to a marine amphibious APC. In actuality his gun was sabotaged by his apprentice, Seaman Schofield, who wanted the entire military exercise cancelled for environmental reasons.
* {{Realpolitik}}: Harm asks Webb what the CIA's interest is in this situation. Webb replies that if the exercises fail in Florida, they'll have to be moved back to Puerto Rico.
