The fictional "USS Charles Davis" that Admiral Engleberg commands is portrayed by at least three very different ships. It starts off as the Canadian HMCS Charlotte, then becomes the Australian HMAS Darwin, interspersed with shots of the foredeck and gun of a Ticonderoga or Arleigh Burke class destroyer. Finally it becomes a CGI version of the USS Arleigh Burke, with its gun and missile tubes replaced with a triple-gun turret.
The Sydney Opera House is crashed into several times, then is undamaged in subsequent shots.
While Jack and the Admiral are talking/arguing over an unconscious Rosie in the mechanical shark, her head gear appears then disappears when the camera angle changes.
When Jack is riding what appears to be a 2003-2005 YZ250/450, when he goes to kick it over, the film is backwards as the kick starter and exhaust are on the left side, and even more obvious, the name on the side reads AHAMAY instead of YAMAHA. From that point on, the film is correct and the kick starter and exhaust are where they should be, on the right-hand side.

When the Megalodon leaps out of the water attack airplane,Because most airplanes fly at an altitude of 5-15 km Megalodon pellets require a speed of approximately 3600km/h when rising out of the water It's almost as fast as SpaceShipTwo.
The "USS Charles Davis" was a destroyer in the early 1900's decommissioned in 1933 and sold for scrapping in 1934. Therefore, the scene where they are aboard the "USS Charles Davis" is incorrect as the film is clearly not set earlier than 1934.
