With the aid of a retired World War II gunner's mate among the rescued sailors, Ryback uses the battleship's 16 inch guns to attack the submarine, killing Krill and everyone on board. Strannix regains control of the ship's weapon systems and loads the Tomahawks onto the submarine. The Pentagon responds by ordering an air strike that will sink Missouri. Ryback shuts down Missouri 's weapon systems to allow the incoming Navy SEALs to land, but the submarine crew shoots down the helicopter carrying the Navy SEALs with shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles. Together, they overcome the ambush and shut off the water in the forecastle. Ryback and Tate come upon six imprisoned sailors. The terrorists correctly assume this will force Ryback to refocus his efforts to rescue his crew mates, and set up an ambush in anticipation. To keep the missile-theft plan in place, Krill activates the fire suppression system in the forecastle, leaving the crew members to drown. Ryback moves throughout the ship, eliminating any hijackers he comes across. Ryback contacts Bates and is told that the Navy plans to send a SEAL team to retake the ship. Krill discovers that Ryback is a former Navy SEAL with extensive training in counterterrorism tactics Captain Adams kept him on as a cook after Ryback was demoted for striking a superior officer because a mission in Panama backfired due to inadequate intel, and Krill was unaware of this beforehand as Ryback's file was kept in the captain's personal safe. Strannix contacts Admiral Bates at the Pentagon to make demands, but then learns that Ryback has escaped. Strannix intends to sell the ship's Tomahawks by unloading them onto a submarine he previously hijacked from North Korea, as revenge for the CIA trying to assassinate him prior to the events of the film. Strannix and his men seize control of the ship's weapon systems, shooting down a jet sent to investigate, and plan on covering their escape by using missiles to obliterate tracking systems in Pearl Harbor. Nash is killed, but Ryback slays the assassins, runs into Tate, who was sedated during the takeover, and reluctantly allows her to tag along. Strannix sends two mercenaries to eliminate Ryback and Nash. Ryback hears the gunshots and persuades Nash to call the bridge, inadvertently reminding Krill of this loose end.
The surviving ship's company are imprisoned in the forecastle, except for some stragglers in unsecured areas. Several officers are killed, including Captain Adams. Strannix's forces seize control of the ship with Krill's help. A helicopter lands on the ship's deck with a musical band and a group of caterers (who are in fact a band of mercenaries led by disillusioned former CIA operative William "Bill" Strannix), and also with Playboy Playmate Jordan Tate. Unable to imprison Ryback in the brig without clearance from the captain, Krill detains Ryback in a freezer and places Marine Private Nash on guard. Casey Ryback, a chief petty officer assigned as a culinary specialist, prepares meals in celebration of the birthday of commanding officer Captain Adams, against the orders of executive officer Commander Krill, who is having food and entertainment brought by helicopter. Bush announces that the ship will be decommissioned in California. The battleship USS Missouri (BB-63) arrives at Pearl Harbor, where then- President George H.
