I believe this is more of a mentality and determination question.
That's what I was thinking, too.

How would this play out?
Slaughter. Absolute slaughter. The 2025 US Armed Forces would obliterate the WWII forces.
Even if you set aside the astronomical advancements in things like naval and air forces and look solely at the ground forces alone, the amount of firepower and battlefield lethality your average infantry or armor battalion has at its disposal today is light years ahead of what WWII era ground forces had. And the ability to coordinate that firepower is again light years ahead of the capabilities of WWII era forces.

Dude one modern submarine could take out an entire ww2 fleet. Surely you must be trolling
LOL I you are making a point about todays stuff vs theirs but you might want to check the facts. At the end of WW2 the US had over 6700 warships.
People dont understand what we had built and our manufacturing process was so much greater than any other country. We could build ships faster than the Germans could sink them.

WWII military was much more efficient and had exponentially better leaders. Personnel were fully bough into the military service and missions. (i.e. structure and CoC worked as smoothly as possible)
2025 Military has better technology and far out numbers in volume, but is lead by political hacks and a great majority of the personnel are not committed to service and only there for the benefits. Personnel with the exception of elite services are less than adequately to poorly trained relying highly on the technology if the weapons system in lieu of advance skill for the average human asset.

But it doesn't change the fact a single Virginia class boat carries enough firepower to eliminate multiple WW2 era surface fleets. They can drop 40 ICBMs (each with multiple nuclear warheads) on a fleet from hundreds of miles away. Plus they can operate indefinitely, silently, and rearm.
The 6700 number isn't capital ships. Sink a few aircraft carriers and bbs and it'd be effectively over anyway.
Coming to the OT is like taking crazy pills

The modern USA might not even suffer a casualty to be honest.
