4. TARGET: OAHU<br />
A<br />
E<br />
On December 7, 1941, the Imperial Navy of Japan attacked the American<br />
Naval Base Pearl Harbor. The Japanese understood that naval warfare was<br />
changing. They appreciated the value of airpower and used aircraft carriers<br />
as a major offensive weapon. The Japanese attacked military installations<br />
all over Oahu, not just Pearl Harbor. Airfields (AF) served as the muscles<br />
for American airpower. American fighter and bomber planes were destroyed<br />
so that they could not strike back. Naval Air Stations (NAS) served as the<br />
eyes and ears of U.S. military. Seaplanes were destroyed so that they could<br />
not search for and locate the Japanese fleet.<br />
The attack came in two waves, each about an hour apart.<br />
