I remember a long time ago I went to Disney World (by long time ago I mean it was 1990) and we got to see this tank where they could do "sea effects".
They got some poor volunteer from the group to go stand in this mock up WWII era sub bridge and they straffed him with "aircraft" (all you saw was the water jets and airplane sound effects), shot at him with a destroyer, and then torpedoed him.
The Coup de grace was when he got hit by a "wave" from the wave simulator during a "storm". Lucky dog got to take home a VHS of him there spliced in with other footage of everything shooting at him and a sea background behind him thanks to computers.
