I'm pretty sure this was a live exercise.  As in, you're not talking a 
computer program or board game. You're talking real ships, and they drive up 
next to your battleship and pull back the tarp on several empty drums saying 
"these were actually full of C4. You're sunk."

Sort of like a paintball match.
