Initially, the film was titled American Battleship, but Universal later involved The Asylum in a copyright lawsuit over the film due to its resemblance to their film.[2] As a result of the controversy, the film's name was changed to American Warships.
Plot
USSIowa is on its final voyage before being decommissioned and turned into a floating museum. When USSEnterprise is attacked and destroyed by a mysterious force, World War III looms. The captain of Iowa chases an invisible ship, which they discover to be an alien force waging war on Earth. Only the crew of this last American battleship stands in their way.[3] (lowa's outdated technology is immune to the alien's electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons.)
During the fight in Washington, D.C., General McKraken attempted to steer the high-stakes game of brinkmanship between the U.S. and other world powers as several coastal towns in North Korea were also attacked, in an apparent attempt by the aliens to get the world to destroy itself. McKraken's diplomatic efforts attempted to buy Iowa time to provide proof of the alien incursion.
