![]() Tideman AKA Owens would probably have used his knowledge of the ship to design it, perhaps making minor improvements, but overall, the ship would most likely have been developed by a different company, and perhaps had a slightly different configuration in the original history. As military contracts go, however, this is probably not significant. The first and most obvious anomaly is that Tideman Enterprises would not have been the company which designed the USS Nimitz. Much of the events of the AB timeline can be reconstructed. Owens would not have been there the first time in the AB timeline, we can conclude that the events we are watching take place in at least the CD timeline, possibly EF or GH, but for the sake of simplicity, I am going to treat it as the CD timeline. Owens, first officer of the Nimitz, and Laurel, Mr. ![]() Tideman and his wife, only to discover that they are Mr. Laskey, a civilian quality control inspector, gets called over the meet Mr. The Nimitz and all of the planes are sent back to the exact point in time they left in the beginning. As they are getting ready to engage, the mysterious electromagnetic storm appears again, and the captain calls the attack force back. They launch every single war plane, and prepare to attack the approaching Japanese air force. Onboard the Nimitz, the crew prepares to defend Pearl Harbor with the arsenal available to them. Owens and Chapman's assistant on the Hawaiian Island. When Chapman realizes where they are, he attempts to hijack the helicopter, and unwittingly destroys it, killing all onboard, and stranding Mr. Instead of being flown to Pearl Harbor, the crew flies him to an island in Hawaii, along with his assistant and Mr. Senator Chapman finally has his request to see the captain of the Nimitz, and after a failed attempt at contacting Pearl Harbor, demands to be flown there. The Japanese pilot is being interviewed by an interpreter, and eventually obtains a weapon, and kills 4 or 5 Nimitz personnel before being killed himself. Chapman is placed into isolation, and begins questioning everyone he comes into contact with, about the ship that they are on, demanding answers none are given. History recorded him as being missing and presumed dead. Senator Chapman turns out to be vice chairman of the armed services defense committee. ![]() The USS Nimitz sends out a rescue helicopter to pick up the survivors of the yacht, as well as the downed Japanese pilot. Some fancy flying maneuvers later, permission is given to "Splash the Zeros," and so the F-14s destroy the hostile aircraft. Permission is given to "Play with the Zeros," and so the F-14s do just that. The F-14 fighters radio back to the Nimitz and ask for permission to engage the Zeros in a dogfight, to protect the survivors. As the Zeros strafe the water surrounding the yacht, they kill the yacht captain, who is floating in the water. The yacht is destroyed, killing all other personnel onboard. Chapman, his assistant Laurel, the captain of the yacht, and Charlie all jump ship when the Zeros begin their attack run. Onboard said yacht is Senator Sam Chapman, his personal assistant, and several members of his staff, as well a collie by the name of Charlie. Two of the recon airplanes, F-14 fighter jets, watch as the pair of Zero fighter planes strafes a small personal yacht. From this, the captain surmises that the electromagnetic storm which the ship passed through was some sort of time portal, and it has taken them back from the mid 1980s, to December 6, 1941, less than 24 hours before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The memorial to the attack is gone, and the harbor is filled with all of the ships that were destroyed in the Japanese attack. Sending out a number of aircraft to do recon, they quickly discover other strange sightings: a pair of mint-condition WW2 vintage Japanese Zero fighter planes, and more alarmingly, Pearl Harbor in undamaged condition. At first the crew is badly shaken by this, because they believe that they are at war, and that Pearl Harbor has been destroyed. When they come out of the storm, the crew begins to notice that all communication with Pearl Harbor is gone, their support fleet has vanished, and all transmissions they intercept are of pre-WW2 variety-Jack Benny comedy broadcasts, a Joe Lewis boxing match, among others. The Nimitz passes through some sort of seemingly natural electromagnetic storm, and vanishes. Tideman is later revealed to be one of the designers of the USS Nimitz. Tideman, CEO of Tideman Enterprises, shows up to give the crew a sendoff. The USS Nimitz, a nuclear aircraft carrier with full combat complement, is awaiting launch from Pearl Harbor, in the mid 1980s.
