The boys and Mr. Iowa walk onto the U.S.S. Farragut, which Jimmy refers to as "a real live battleship!" In fact, the U.S.S. Farragut was the first Coontz Class Guided Missile Destroyer, commisioned on 10 Dec 1960, and finally decommisioned on 31 Oct 1989. Of further note, all battleships are named after U. S. states, with the exception of the Kearsarge.
