![]() ![]() As the Zeros strafe the water surrounding the yacht, they kill the yacht captain, who is floating in the water. The yacht is destroyed, killing all other personnel onboard. Chapman, his assistant Laurel, the captain of the yacht, and Charlie all jump ship when the Zeros begin their attack run. Onboard said yacht is Senator Sam Chapman, his personal assistant, and several members of his staff, as well a collie by the name of Charlie. Two of the recon airplanes, F-14 fighter jets, watch as the pair of Zero fighter planes strafes a small personal yacht. From this, the captain surmises that the electromagnetic storm which the ship passed through was some sort of time portal, and it has taken them back from the mid 1980s, to December 6, 1941, less than 24 hours before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The memorial to the attack is gone, and the harbor is filled with all of the ships that were destroyed in the Japanese attack. Sending out a number of aircraft to do recon, they quickly discover other strange sightings: a pair of mint-condition WW2 vintage Japanese Zero fighter planes, and more alarmingly, Pearl Harbor in undamaged condition. At first the crew is badly shaken by this, because they believe that they are at war, and that Pearl Harbor has been destroyed. When they come out of the storm, the crew begins to notice that all communication with Pearl Harbor is gone, their support fleet has vanished, and all transmissions they intercept are of pre-WW2 variety-Jack Benny comedy broadcasts, a Joe Lewis boxing match, among others. The Nimitz passes through some sort of seemingly natural electromagnetic storm, and vanishes. Tideman is later revealed to be one of the designers of the USS Nimitz. Tideman, CEO of Tideman Enterprises, shows up to give the crew a sendoff. The USS Nimitz, a nuclear aircraft carrier with full combat complement, is awaiting launch from Pearl Harbor, in the mid 1980s. ![]()
