Men of Honor - L'onore degli uomini

Brazilian diver Alberto José do Nascimento was the only one that supported Brashear since the beginning in the team, but was ignored in the movie and replaced by different characters along the film

The bomb was found at 2500+ feet by submersibles. Recovery was attempted but failed. The bomb was re-located at nearly 3000 feet by submersibles. Hard-hat diving was limited to 350 feet, therefore divers could not be used in the recovery until it was raised to about 100 feet by submersibles, so divers could attach recovery cables to the bomb and raise it from the water. The recovery ships were USS Petrel and USS Cascade.

The woman in the detox center is listed as "Pinch-Faced Woman at Detox Center"

DVD includes several deleted scenes cut from the final film:

• Billy lies drunk on a beach and is caught by Military Police; the film then cuts to the opening scene showing just why he is in handcuffs.
• Carl finds Pappy's dog and he makes a white officer wash the poor animal in lye because carl touched it.
• an alternate ending showing just what exactly happened to Billy
