Missile and bombing technology for both propulsion and targeting will have to be reengineered as well as the airborne electronics and engines. Airborne refueling was a mature tech by that time too. Some or all systems could be reverse-engineered.The transistor function was still a vacuum tube in 1941  Television had not been invented and radio was in its heyday although it was still the AM band.  We did not have the resources to keep spare parts flowing to a 1980s warship let alone the planes on board.  What about the books, magazines, all printed material on the past from the perspective of the Nimitz would have to be confiscated because unscrupulous people could have prior knowledge of when events or discoveries could happen and cash in controlling markets and even countries fortunes if the Nimitz had not thwarted the history of them.Computers in 1980s were second generation and had not yet achieved much more than word processing, databases and advanced calculator abilities.  My father worked with the IBM System 7 and System 3 and Sperry Univacs 9000 series that took up entire rooms.  It took days to print out invoices to the customers they had and that was at three dot matrix lines per second.  Dad showed me the new printer they had acquired they were really proud of.  It spit out pages at 5 pages per second along with the autofolder/stuffing machine they had to buy to keep up with the printer.  They could now print invoices in a day.</blockquote>
