I did, however, watch the original late '60's episodes of Star Trek and remember some of the boards posting references to it some time back. So decided to re-watch some of these episodes again.

Information he gave in some of his posting made me research and find Star Trek Midway only because Pearl Harbor had a carrier named "Enterprise." Actually there's been 8 mil vessels called "Enterprise."
Here is a trailer to 2007 Star Trek, Midway:
