Location of water immersion tank in Huntington Beach

Can someone tell me if there is still a water immersion tank at the Boeing [formerly McDonnell-Douglas] facility on Bolsa Ave. in Huntington Beach, California?
Information from 1992 says a 70-ft dia, 35-ft deep tank holding 1 million gallons of fresh water was built there in 1980. Some sources say it was used in the filming of Star Trek IV (1986) and Waterworld (1995) but Wikipedia doesn't confirm that.
If so, which building is (was) it in?
I also have information that such a tank was present at the same facility in the mid-1960s. Any information on whether it was the same tank, and which building it might have occupied?
Thanks in advance!

The wet scenes in Star Trek IV were filmed on the lot at Paramount.

Most of Waterworld was filmed just offshore of Kawaihae Harbor, west side of the Big Island of Hawaii. The "island lagoon" was sunk there afterwards.
