The Final Countdown was a great movie.
I love how James Farentino gets left behind in 1941 on an island.
He turns out to be the "designer" of the aircraft carrier in the future (1979).

It was the USS Nimtz that went back in time.

It's had to imagine, but in the movie The Final Countdown, the time difference between Pearl Harbor and 1979 is almost the same at the movie The Final Countdown in 1979 and now.
That would be a turkey shoot, and everybody knew it, with a 1979 carrier vs the 1941 Japanese. But how would a carrier of today fare against a carrier of 1979? I'd think a carrier of today would have it's work cut out for it against a 1979 carrier. Now maybe some stealth planes could get thru and sink the 1979 carrier. But when you think about it, it certainly appears to have been more technological change from 1941 to 1979 than 1979 to 2017.

A6M2 Zero versus AIM-9 Sidewinder missile...’nuff said.
