And I forget the name of the movie, but a moder day Aircraft carrier is sent back in time to just prior to the Sneak attack at Pearl Harbor. That was a good movie as well.

That movie was The Final Countdown. It's coming out on DVD soon, and I've already pre-ordered it. It's almost the perfect movie for me; it has both time travel and Pearl Harbor, 2 of my favorite subjects. Now, if Martin Sheen just wasn't in it.....

Finally, after all of these months, I finally watch The Final Countdown. I still think it's a pretty good time travel flick, even with Martin Sheen in it. But as I was watching it, I realized that they should have used this film as a Navy recruiting film instead of Top Gun. Top Gun only dealt with pilots. That may make up about 1 or 2 percent of the Navy population. This film showed what aircraft crews did, and spent quite a bit of the movie showing the crew doing their jobs. If anyone was interested, and didn't hope to have any chance to be a pilot, you could get a look at what the enlisted personnel did on a ship. Ships have their officers, but it's the crew who actually run things. That's what I was thinking when I was watching this film. So if you're thinking about a career in the Navy, check this film out.
