I just went back and read your post that I made the comment about. And think there was a misunderstanding. I was making a smarta$$ comment about the Arc Royal and the Swordfish.

Yes-they were Swordfish biplanes that torpedoed the Bizmarck sent by the Arc Royal. (Actually, I think I read the exact same book on the Bizmarck in HS, 30+ years ago. Still remember some parts, where they were talking about the divers going down trying to free the rudder.)

My comment that I made to you, was about a movie around 1980, called the Final Conflict. In it the US Nimitz is transported back in time to just before the Japanese strike Pearl Harbor.

My comment was a sarcasm, that instead of the Nimitz, it was the Arc Royal, as it was the Arc Royal that attacked the Biz, and this article is about the modern day Arc Royal. The movie was terribly written, and was only good for watching cool planes to fly around.

Another reader caught on to the movie I was trying to allude to.

Sorry once again. I meant no disrespect.

Final Countdown.

It's out on DVD - the two-disc set is really cool because they have interviews with the Tomcat pilots that flew the dogfight scenes and they have a LOT of hilarious anecdotes about the movie.
