One of the biggest problems the production crew faced was how to give the illusion that the U.S.S. Alabama (U.S.S. Missouri in the movie) was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean when in fact it was docked in Mobile Bay in Mobile, Alabama. To do this, the production crew created a 100-feet long barge and a 60-feet high framework on the barge, and hung a giant black cloth on the framework. The "blackout" barge was moved around the Alabama as necessary to block out city buildings and lights.
The film's box office success played a role in delaying production of a third "Die Hard" film. Originally, the script was born out of a spec script called "Troubleshooter," about a cruise ship taken over by terrorists. Ultimately, the idea was deemed too similar to "Under Siege," and the script underwent several rewrites before ultimately becoming "Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)."
In the opening scene, the ship filmed at sea is the actual Missouri as it had not been decommissioned yet at the time of filming. After that, all shots of the ships interior and exterior were filmed on the U.S.S. Alabama.

"Jordan Tate: You're not a cook. Casey Ryback: Yeah, well... I also cook."
