@Jokersswild Yes ..in fact saw it 17 times!
Why you ask? The audience reactions often were lengthy and drowned out some of the dialog, plus I like to examine what's happening with folks in the background and spot any mistakes...like the number of barrels changing during the chase of the shark, and the 2 falling stars, that were special effects.

Yes,I've noted the incorrect date of June 29,1945 given in the movie - it could be the case that Robert Shaw simply said the wrong date,June instead of July.As his monologue was such a dramatic acting highlight at that point of the movie,the director may not have been inclined to ask for a re-take - if the error was even noticed at that point.

The story of the Indianapolis is tragic, but the events in JAWS are more generally based on a series of attacks a Great White made along the NJ coast and rivers of Matawan/Aberdeen NJ in the early 1900s.

@GerOttman Could be -- somewhere out there is a documentary about the attacks.

Further research indicates that Spielberg himself was not aware of the story, and was using a book that gave the incorrect date of the tragedy.
It would be good to know what the title of this book is.
