Its interesting but in some way the 2001 naval world would look much like the one you see in the The Seventh Carrier series of books - with missiles and torpedoes almost all gone you are back to guns - meaning that navies with old WWII ships still afloat would have a very big advantage - imagine what New Jersey would do against a bunch of modern DD's and missile cruisers who are out of missiles and now its their one or two 5 inch guns against ten 5 inch and 9 16 inch guns?
