      Modern warships go back to the yy that dominated the past, with a large number of aircraft carrier details, suitable for military fans.

      I have long thought about what would happen if an aircraft carrier or Aegis ship went back to the past and faced the Japanese and German battleships or fleets. The two sides played against each other and fought a blurred war. This film is almost like this, the aircraft carrier goes back to the past. However, the downside is that the plot is thin, the fantasy battle does not appear, and there is no game between the two sides without understanding each other.
      However, it can be said that as...

      In the 1980s World War II through the movie "Blood and Long Sky": The Distress of the Nuclear Aircraft Carrier

      "Blood and Long Sky" poster

      It's pretty good from a crossing point of view

      The overall logic is relatively complete. After going through this process, a pair of people went back to the past, a dog remained in the present, and finally met, the dog ran to the owner, and everything was silent.

      Again, Tedman, Owens, is the key to all of this. He lived forty years longer than others. Everyone else was moving in a straight line on the timeline, but he suddenly went backwards forty years in the process of straight forward. Then he should know everything that has...

      Talk about some of the problems that the film is too nonsense (not including the time-travel itself)

      Although the film was shot with a real machine at a high cost, there are still some unreasonable problems. It seems that the director thinks the navy is an idiot. How can a real idiot operate these top weapons? Hehe... It can only be said that the director is an idiot
      . The first question: Can the signal gun blow up the helicopter?
      Synopsis: When a helicopter was landing on an island with a senator, the fat senator knocked out a pilot with a flare gun while no one was looking, and...

      Verbal Argument to Reality Deduction

      In the play, the two people who were arguing about crossing finally met by accident, but the young pilot stayed in the past with more than 40 years of knowledge ahead, and grew old with the flow of history. The system analyst, just argued with the pilot for a long time. , After getting off the aircraft carrier, I saw a pilot in his 40s who came to pick him up for a moment. The logical arrangement of the latter part seemed to be in place.

      The first part of the film is a bit too wordy....

    • [one of the F-14's barely dodges a burst of gunfire from one of the Zeroes]

      Pilot: Why the hell are we playing with these guys?

    • [Trying to warn Pearl Harbor of the impending Japanese attack]

      Senator Chapman: This is, uh, Senator Samuel S. Chapman, of the United States Senate on board the aircraft carrier Nimitz. Captain Yelland is here with me.

      Pearl Harbor Radio Operator: You're on a what?

      Senator Chapman: I repeat. I am Senator Samuel S. Chapman onboard the U.S.S. Nimitz.

      Pearl Harbor Radio Operator: Alright, whoever the hell you are. Use of military frequencies by unauthorized personnel is a felony.

      Senator Chapman: Now listen here, sir!

      Pearl Harbor Radio Operator: As we have no aircraft carrier Nimitz and no Captain Yelland I suggest, asshole, that you stop impersonating some other asshole and get off the air! You're wasting our time!

      Senator Chapman: How dare you talk to me that way!

    • Captain Yelland: If the United States falls under attack our job is to defend her in the past, present and future.

      Lasky: And after that?

      Captain Yelland: After that, we take our orders from the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces.

      Lasky: Franklin Delano Roosevelt?
