Battleship is a 2012 science fiction film directed by Peter Berg (The Kingdom) and is loosely based on the famous Hasbro board game. The film follows US naval forces as they must repel an alien invasion that has begun from the Pacific Ocean. The film stars Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, and Liam Neeson and was made with the cooperation of the Department of Defense and the US Navy, and several scenes were filmed aboard active US Navy destroyers and aircraft carriers.
The following weapons were used in the film Battleship (2012):
Petty Officer Raikes (Rihanna) is seen drawing and firing what appears to be a SIG-Sauer P226 pistol after being disarmed of her M4A1. Lieutenant Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch) appears to carry a SIG-Sauer P226 as his sidearm.
The Heckler & Koch HK416 with KAC flip-up sights is seen used by Lt. Colonel Mick Canales (Gregory D. Gadson) after recovering it from a police vehicle.
Nearly all the ships in the film can be seen fitted with Phalanx CIWS (Close In Weapons System) installations. When the alien ships launch an attack, the USS John Paul Jones is seen using the Phalanx to defend against the incoming projectiles.
9 16"/50 caliber Mark 7 - United States Naval Guns form the main armament of the Iowa class battleships, which includes the USS Missouri, the battleship featured in the film.
