The USS Nimitz has a date with history. A storm-vortex transports the Nimitz and its crew back in time to Dec. 6, 1941, the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese fleet has been spotted. Is history on the verge of being rewritten?

Grumman F-14 Tomcat

Tomcats from Fighter Squadron 84/Jolly Rogers played a dominant role in the confrontation between the Nimitz and the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service.
