Wasn’t this carrier once commanded by Kirk Douglas and got caught in a storm and ended up in 1941 the day before Pearl Harbor was attacked?

“The Final Countdown” carrier scenes were filmed on the USS Nimitz. The carrier in port at the end of the movie is the USS Kitty Hawk. The flight scenes were filmed around Key West, FL.
