The Japanese fleet is closing on Pearl Harbor, and the ships anchored there have no idea. Neither does the crew of the nuclear carrier USS Nimitz, which sails into a freak electrical storm during routine 1980 exercises off Hawaii and emerges on the eve of December 7, 1941. Armed with supersonic fighters and technology decades ahead of anything in the sky, Captain Yelland and his officers face an impossible question: intervene, or let history take its course.
