'''The | '''''Under Siege''''' is a 1992 action film which many dubbed as "''[[Die Hard]]'' on a battleship." [[Steven Seagal]] stars in the film as Casey Ryback, a US Navy cook who finds himself having to battle terrorists who have taken over the ship he serves upon, the ''Iowa''-class battleship USS ''Missouri''. While it did not receive support from the US Department of Defense, the production utilized aerial footage of the real USS Missouri sailing towards its final docking in Pearl Harbor and several scenes were actually shot aboard the decommissioned ''South Dakota''-class battleship USS ''Alabama''. The film was directed by [[Andrew Davis]] (who had previously directed Seagal in his debut film ''[[Above the Law]]'', and co-star [[Tommy Lee Jones]] in ''[[The Package (1989)|The Package]]'' and who would later direct Jones in ''[[Fugitive, The|The Fugitive]]''). Seagal would return as Ryback in ''[[Under Siege 2: Dark Territory]]''. | ||

Under Siege is a 1992 action film which many dubbed as "Die Hard on a battleship." Steven Seagal stars in the film as Casey Ryback, a US Navy cook who finds himself having to battle terrorists who have taken over the ship he serves upon, the Iowa-class battleship USS Missouri. While it did not receive support from the US Department of Defense, the production utilized aerial footage of the real USS Missouri sailing towards its final docking in Pearl Harbor and several scenes were actually shot aboard the decommissioned South Dakota-class battleship USS Alabama. The film was directed by Andrew Davis (who had previously directed Seagal in his debut film Above the Law, and co-star Tommy Lee Jones in The Package and who would later direct Jones in The Fugitive). Seagal would return as Ryback in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.

William Stranix (Tommy Lee Jones) uses a Heckler & Koch P7 throughout the movie. He holds it high during many scenes, clearly showing the single stack 8 round magazine.

Rubber guns
During the initial assault many of the terrorists are using obviously rubber weapons. They are cast from the real deal and used in any scene where stunts occur. It is much safer to wave around and hit other actors with rubber guns than the real thing.
Gun Platform - U.S. Battleship
The following are armaments which are seen in the film and are available weaponry on the gun platform Iowa-Class Battleship USS Missouri (even though most of the filming took place on the South Dakota-Class USS Alabama, a museum ship permanently docked at Mobile, Alabama). These are listed for the sake of completion, but none of these weapons systems appear in any movie weapons armory.
Phalanx CIWS
The terrorists commandeer the USS Missouri's Phalanx CIWS (Close In Weapons System) to shoot down an F/A-18 Hornet. As the Alabama (the Missouri's stand-in) was decommissioned in 1947, she never had any CIWS mounts installed and this is a prop version.
9 16"/50 caliber Mark 7 - United States Naval Guns form the main armament of the Iowa class battleships. They were also seen firing in archival footage of the USS Missouri in action. Dialogue established that Missouri carried 1000 projectiles.
The USS Alabama (BB-60), now a museum, stood in for the Missouri in this film. The Alabama belongs to the older South Dakota class, which were armed with nine 16" guns, but of an older design. These 16"/45 caliber Mark 6 guns were used to destroy the North Korean submarine.
5"/38 caliber gun
These guns formed the secondary armament of the battleship. Originally 20 were carried, but the number was reduced to 12 in the Reagan-era modernization. In the film, starburst shells were used to illuminate the North Korean submarine. The Missouri's stand-in, the Alabama, carried the same guns in a similar Mk 28 mount, but retained all 20 guns.
