I thought the movie had an interesting premises.

There is much unexplained of which we have no comprehension.

That surviving Jap pilot kicked some ass before we finally waxed him, too.

-1 for Martin Sheen being a tool
+1 for Nimitz class goodness
+10 for "filmed with the assistance of the Defense Department"

It is indeed a classic military sci-fi movie.

"I'm from the Department of Defense. Er, I mean the War Department."

Good film!

So just how much damage would a Nimitz class carrier be able to unleash on the Japanese fleet?

The carrier itself...not much after its A-6s ran out of air-to-surface weapons

Great scene!

"Splash 2, repeat splash two."

I'd imagine a WWII Zero pilot would be pretty shaken up by a pair of F-14s.

Yeah, but I bet the F-14s could inflict sufficient damage with their cannon alone to convince that Japanese fleet that attacking Pearl would be a very bad idea.

They could strife the hell out of the bridge and gun crews.

That carrier probably had multiple cans of sunshine on it. What Japanese fleet?

How much ammo/bombs/etc. does a carrier have?

Yeah I am sure there would been a few tactical nukes used. Got the two disc edition a few years ago.

I loved that movie and yet, it left me unsatisfied. Even as a kid seeing it in the theater, I was like "NO! They can't go back yet!" I was wanting to see them unleash a can of whoop ass on the Japanese fleet.

Fun flick, I used to watch it all the time on HBO.

Next time you watch it take a look at how close to stalling the Tomcats are when "dogfighting" the Zeros!
