Pearl Harbor
One early Sunday morning - on the 7 December in 1941 Pearl Harbor was attacked,
by the Japanese. ... As the war grew, the Fleet was moved to the Pearl Harborbase in Hawaii. ... Japan believed that the many ships inside Pearl Harbor could be attacked by air, and the very narrow and thin
channel leading into the harbor could be blocked, which would contain American ships inside and prevent thme from leaving. The blockade would be
done by sinking ships in the channel, these ships would be sunk by torpedoes and by very small Japanese submarines with a two-person-crew,
which would sneak into the harbor itself. ...
They had spy-maps of Pearl Harbor, and knew where each ship lay in the harbor. They had even built a model - a so-called mockup of the harbor,
so their pilots could walk around and get the sense of looking at their targets from above. ... on Wheeler Field, eight miles from Pearl Harbor. ... ships present in the harbor that day, eight battleships were damaged and five sunk.
