The models seem rather small, with the camera running at an insufficient frame rate to appear at all convincing. Perhaps in a comedy this was thought part of the joke.

Kind Hearts and Coronets 1949
A reader Ian Jopson put me onto this classic Ealing comedy which has a short sequence featuring the collision and sinking of two out of three miniature Victorian battleships. According to IMDB this story point could have been a reference to a real-life disaster in 1893 which involved the battleships HMS Victoria and HMS Camperdown.
