Yeah, the first row of ships actually disappear entirely on the fifth frame of this shot, looks like you kept that flaw intact even though that's one thing that most people would find tempting to smooth over if they had the chance.
One of those little quirks in the original compositing I discovered when I found out about the alternative version of this shot.

Corrected or not, in motion neither would make a noticable difference anyway.

I forget, are the disappearing ships only on the "cloudless" composite, or are they also on the original one with the moving clouds?

(To clarify, the original batch of 35mm prints had a few different optical composites, which were actually replaced during the original run. We think it was around the time the film went into full national release with mono prints. msycamore can explain further.)
