One modern, nuclear powered aircraft carrier, fully supplied, in any time period up to 1950.
What could it do? (Be an interesting story...)

Actually it was a movie. A Nimitz-class carrier somehow gets transported back in time to WWII. What should the captain do? What is his duty? Unfortunately, the film-makers spent most of their time on dumbed-down philosophical discussions rather than action, so it was OK to watch once on TV but not worth remembering the name. (On the other hand, I was much younger then, so maybe I just didn't have the depth to appreciate it.)

The Final Countdown. A mostly forgettable movie starring Martin Sheen and Kirk Douglas.
