Due to copyrighting issues and the fact that WB was creating a pilot series for Aquaman, Mercy Reef, Aquaman and his rogues gallery are off-limits to the JLU team as of this episode. The villain "Devil Ray" is a replacement for Black Manta, one of Aquaman's villains and a member of the original Legion of Doom.
At one point, King Faraday informs the crew of Devil Ray's sub that they are surrounded by three Seawolf class attack subs. In the real world, the U.S. Navy has precisely three subs of this class.

Episode Goofs
Who is filming all the League missions for the monitoring screens? And how can the cameras go along with each Leaguer and be on them with such close-ups?
Wonder Woman says she can use her Lasso to get the Legionnaires to reveal why they want the vessel, but the Lasso is never visible nor there's any sign she has it on her.
How could Green Arrow use his bow to slide down a cable and then jump off from it with the bow still in his hand?
Faraday threatens to fire "Trident missiles" at the enemy sub. However, he is a sub and Tridents are missiles which are fired from subs into the air, not to another sub at a close range.
