A pilot in pajamas, a cocksure government, and an ill-timed headline. Pearl Harbor was an impossible target…until it wasn’t.

  1. I've Always have Why Were all the Battleships In Pearl Harbor ? Contained there INSTEAD OF BEING SOME SHIPS WEREN'T AT OTHER PORTS ! ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST ! GOV SET UP A DISASTER BY WITH BATTLESHIPS IN ONE PORT !!

  2. Battleships "None of them could be salvaged" (8:17). Incorrect. Oklahoma was righted, but sank while in tow to the west coast. Arizona is still in Pearl Harbor. Tennessee, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Nevada and California were all repaired and modernized. On the night of October 25, 1944, Battleships Tennessee, California, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania took part in the Battle of Surigao Strait. It is listed as "the last battleship duel." Japanese battleships Fuso and Yamashiro, along with a heavy cruiser, were sunk in this duel as the tipping point was radar (the Americans had it, the Japanese didn't). This battle was part of the larger "Battle of Leyte Gulf" that saw the Japanese lose three battleships, four aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers and seven destroyers. The Americans lost two aircraft carriers and three destroyers.

  3. Yet "somehow" the military was completely unprepared…

    Really…?

    All 3 of their newest carriers and battle groups were safely dispersed in the Pacific, the last one a mere 36 hours before the attack. The only ships left at dock were slated for decommission. Seems pretty prepared to me.

  4. Political incompetence lead to what happened just like 911 and the Vietnam war listening to your military leaders is tricky but important politicians like to hear yes not no and that's always been the problem.

  5. Figures. The Navy doesn't care about Hawaii and the ecosystem. Right now the Red Hill fuel storage tanks have leaked gallons of jet fuel into Honolulu's water well and there's still jet fuel that's unaccounted for. Oh, and the Navy thinks it should only take about 2 years to defuel the tanks and clean up their screw up.
