Large robots invade Earth, okay.... US takes old battleships out of mothballs to fight them? One of the dumbest premises ever. Even dumber premise: old battleship (decommissioned in 1992, and which has not moved under her own power since then, which has been operating as a floating museum since 1999) has fuel in her bunkers, can be gotten running by a handful of old guys in under an hour, and HAS LIVE AMMUNITION FOR THE MAIN GUNS ON BOARD for just such an eventuality.

Wow...”Under Siege” was more realistic in that regard!
