* [[Camp Gay]]: Dirk Pitt pretends to be this to fool a potential enemy.
* [[Continuity ErrorsSnarl]]: Pitt is said to be 32 years old in the novel. However, in ''Arctic Drift'', set over 30 years later, his age is only 55.
* [[Something They Would Never Say]]: Pitt describes a steak to Kirsti, who has spent most of her life in New Guinea, as being wrapped in echidna seaweed. For those of us who're unfamiliar with the animal and/or haven't played ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' recently, he explains to his friend after Kirsti leaves that an echidna is a type of spiny anteater native to New Guinea. He just said he'd eat the equivalent of a "New York steak wrapped in porcupine quillsleaves".
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: [[Deconstructed]] when Dirk wakes up in a hospital and Sandecker's secretary, Tidi Royal, starts hitting on him. When he shuts her down, Tidi protests he doesn't even know she exists, [[Awesomeness By Analysis|whereupon he reels off her vital statistics--—including the location of a mole--]]—and informs her he will ''never'' "play games" that close to the Admiral. {{spoiler|At the end of the book, Tidi has hookedhooks up with a secondary character, and is never seen again.}}
* [[Values Dissonance]]: One subplot of ''Iceberg'' involves Pitt pretending to be [[Camp Gay]] to get a potential enemy to underestimate him. Sandecker even asks him why he's acting like a "faggot". Incidentally, {{spoiler|the foe in question is a homophobe, and when Pitt reveals the truth, it's in the middle of beating five types of crap out of him. Also, he seems to have no problem with Kirsti's transitioning, and is more concerned with the fact that she seems to have become a sociopath.}}
