American Warships is a 2012 science fiction war film directed by Thunder Levin and distributed by The Asylum.

When USS Enterprise 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.

During the fight, in Washington, D.C., General McKraken attempts to steer the high stake game of brinkmanship between the U.S. and other world powers as several coast 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 attempt to buy Iowa time to provide proof of the alien incursion.
