SciFi had a similar movie a short while ago. Enemy futzes up all electronics and the Iowa and some other old ships destroy them. WITH the help of some Navy SEALS.

Yes, The North Carolina has a ton of the dummy shells and bags.tfbncc wrote:I worked on this movie with my friend (who is also my boss). We provide items for the prop departments. I found and downloaded the complete turret operations manual (over 700 pages downloaded one page at a time as they were stored as jpeg scans), and my boss found the dummy shells and powder bags at (if my faulty memory serves me) the USS North Carolina memorial. They were nice enough to let us borrow a few for the movie. Very minor involvement, but fun to mention.
