Various missile loading shots, sailors, radar screens.

The shot of the "S.S. Essess" back lit by the rising sun is stock footage of the U.S.S. Nimitz from the movie The Final Countdown (1980). That movie starred Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen's Father.

The rear view of what they gone thru looks like the storm the aircraft carrier went thru. The Final Countdown (1980) goes back in Time, SeaQuest goes into the Future.

Mentioned once.

The song "Final Countdown" plays towards the end of the movie referencing the 1980 time-travel movie with that name, where a modern aircraft carrier is thrown back in time.

Audio only: When Robert is lying in his hospital bed with Coyote in the room, in the background the tv is heard airing the older movie.
