BETTER THAN BATTLESHIP

THIS is what is known as a "Mockbuster," a film, a low-budget film that is created specifically to ride the coat-tails of big-budget films, making its money from people who get hyped to see a blockbuster, but who can't quite remember the name or the cast of the real thing.
"American Warships" was put out by The Asylum, who brought us such classics as:
I Am Omega
Transmorphers
Snakes on a Train
Titanic II
Paranormal Entity
Almighty Thor
Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies
And other such non-classics.

They also create original material such as "Mega-Python Vs. Gatoroid."

I've seen their stuff before, deliberately, and this is one of the better ones.
I haven't seen Battleship yet, but from what I've heard, this one's better.
I found "American Warships" to be cheesy fun, well worth the rental price for me.
(Because I watched it for effectively free, via my NetFlix account)

Not really glad or proud, but perhaps happy that you got to see both versions of the story. I have seen both movies, and they both have some good and some bad elements in them. American battleship combined with Battleship would probably produce one really good movie. Battleship had a proper budget and couple of decent actors whereas American battleship had a certain level of seriousness and a sense of reality going on (As soon as one gets over rather lackluster special effects and lazy acting, that is...).
