Pearl Harbor
On Sunday, December 7th, 1941 the Japanese launched a surprise attack against the U.S. Forces stationed at Pearl Harbor , Hawaii . By planning his attack on a Sunday, the Japanese commander Admiral Nagumo, hoped to catch the entire fleet in port. As luck would have it, the Aircraft Carriers and one of the Battleships were not in port. (The USS Enterprise was returning from Wake Island, where it had just delivered some aircraft. The USS Lexington was ferrying aircraft to Midway, and the USS Saratoga and USS Colorado were undergoing repairs in the United States.)
In spite of the latest intelligence reports about the missing aircraft carriers (his most important targets), Admiral Nagumo decided to continue the attack with his force of six carriers and 423 aircraft. At a range of 230 miles north of Oahu, he launched the first wave of a two-wave attack. Beginning at 0600 hours his first wave consisted of 183 fighters and torpedo bombers which struck at the fleet in Pearl Harbor and the airfields in Hickam, Kaneohe and Ewa. The second strike, launched at 0715 hours, consisted of 167 aircraft, which again struck at the same targets.
At 0753 hours the first wave consisting of 40 Nakajima B5N2 "Kate" torpedo bombers, 51 Aichi D3A1 "Val" dive bombers, 50 high altitude bombers and 43 Zeros struck airfields and Pearl Harbor Within the next hour, the second wave arrived and continued the attack.
When it was over, the U.S. losses were:

Tell a friend:
He was merely "following orders".
Admiral Yamamoto planned and ordered the execution of the Pearl Harbor Attack at the direct command of Emperor Hirohito.
And "luck" had nothing to do with why the US CARRIERS "were not there".
I suggest you look at what was finally declassified in 1994 by the US Government and made available via FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) here...
Google: "The McCollum Memo"
A FATAL MISTAKE, because THIRD WAVE was supposed to destroy FUEL TANK FARMS for US NAVY, crippling US Navy Ops for at least 8 months to a YEAR!
THAT would have really put Japan "ON THE MAP"!!
With West Coast of US in Japanese Military Control, things would have been entirely different.
We would all be speaking Japanese today... lol!!
The Honolulu Advertiser Headline,
Nov. 30, 1941
"Everything the Japanese were planning to do was Known to the USA"
-ARMY BOARD 1944
"We knew well in advance that the Japanese were going to attack. It was a lie that we didn't have direct radio with DC"
-Lt Col Clifford M. Andrew
"I have believed that our best entrance into the war would be by way of Japan"
-Oct 18, Int Sec Harold Ickes
A little magazine popular during 1930's and 40's, geared for radio hobbiest. Back then, radio was new, and millions of people enjoyed building their own radios from parts or kits.
This issue shows how to listen to the IJN Japanese Coded Transmissions at home. It teaches you how to understand the codes, and it even shows you how to BREAK the Japanese Navy Codes at home.
What a JOKE! Are you really as stupid as you sound?
Not to mention your total inability to spell, punctuate, and use American English correctly?
For everyone else who REALLY want to know the true story of how Hawaii was STOLEN "at_the_point_of_a_gun", by the WHITE MAN (who else?)... just go here:
YouTube: "Lili'uokalani -- Hawaii's Last Queen"
But the Emperor never wanted or never be able to stop the war.He was an ambiguous figure.
(and..sometimes, allied troops were fanactical too).
