What The Final Countdown is
You blink on deck as radar glitches and the ocean vanishes behind a storm that shouldn’t exist. Then the alarms start and you’re at 1941, engines idling over 1941 water. You’re still the same crew, same war, only the date’s wrong. A pitched dogfight looms beneath you, time folding double.
