OK, I'm sure that everybody has heard of the movie "The Final Countdown," in which the USS Nimitz (CVN-68) is transported through a time anomaly to December 1941. To make a long story short, Kirk Douglas' character orders Carrier Air Wing Eight to strike the Japanese task force about to attack Pearl Harbor. The strike is called back when the "time storm" hits again. What if the time storm hit later or never hit at all? What if CVW-8 destroys the task force, thereby "saving" the battleships, cruisers, and destroyers docked at Pearl? What are the implications for the war in the PTO?
