I am possibly thinking of writing a 2 part story that covers time travel within a military group, based on the movie The Final Countdown where the Nimitz supercarrier, out on a training exercise in 1980 is transported together with several F-14A Tomcats and a E2C Hawkeye back to Pearl Harbour in WW2 after inadvertedly passing through a strange phenomenal storm.The crew realise it is 1940 and the Japanese are planning the attack on Pearl Harbour, debating whether to use the power of the Nimitz to quell the attacking Japanese fleet and change the course of history but are transported back to the present before they can eradicate the Japanese fleet
Much like the movie, i would like to focus on a detachment of combined armed forces from the Singapore Army deploying to a nearby country in naval waters on a training exercise who are transported back to January 1942, a month before the Japanese invasion of Singapore.Instead of holding back, i would like to go all out, defending Singapore from the Japanese invasion and maybe even toying with the idea of an invasion with Japan. What would be the most feasible units that could be used?
I also have a possible problem regarding supplies.. Would there be a problem regarding supply replenishment in friendly bases(ammunition) and technological transfers of the CDF to the USA which would be later used for an invasion of Russia in 1945 ( the second part of the novel)
in a scenario where Truman sort of knew that the Russians were developing the nuclear bomb and wanted to gain the upper hand before they could fully research it.
