228 "... just before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor..."
"The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack against the United States' naval base at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii by the Japanese navy, at 0800 hours on the morning of Sunday,
December 7, 1941, resulting in the United States becoming involved in World War II.
Hostilities between the U.S. and Japan were expected by many observers, including
President Roosevelt, who read a decrypted Japanese message (on December 1st, 1941)
and told his assistant Harry Hopkins, "This means war."
At 03:42 Hawaiian Time, hours before commanding Admiral Chuichi Nagumo began
launching strike aircraft, the minesweeper USS Condor spotted a midget submarine outside
the harbor entrance and alerted destroyer USS Ward. Ward was initially unsuccessful in
locating the target. Hours later, Ward fired America's first shots in the Pacific theater of WWII
when she attacked and sank a midget submarine, perhaps the same one, at 06:37.
Closer to the moment of the attack, the attacking planes were detected and tracked as they
approached by an Army radar installation being operated that morning as a mostly unofficial
training exercise. The Opana Point radar station, operated by two enlisted men (Pvts.
Lockard and Elliot) plotted the approaching force, and their relief team plotted them returning
to the carriers. The initial radar returns were thought, by the ill-trained junior officer (Lt.
Kermit A. Tyler) in charge at the barely operational warning information center at Pearl
Harbor, to be a flight of American bombers expected from the mainland. In fact those
bombers did arrive, from a somewhat different bearing in the middle of the attack.
Additionally, Japanese submarines were sighted and attacked (by USS Ward) outside the
harbor entrance a few hours before the attack commenced, and at least one was sunk—all
before the planes came within even radar range. This might have provided enough notice to
disperse aircraft and fly off reconnaissance, except, yet again, reactions of the duty officers
were tardy. It has been argued failure to follow up on DF bearings saved USS Enterprise. If
she had been correctly directed, she might have run into the six carrier Japanese strike
force.
After the attack, the search for the attack force was concentrated south of Pearl Harbor,
continuing the confusion and ineffectiveness of the American response.
Another issue in the debate is the fact neither Admiral Kimmel nor General Short ever faced
court martial. It is alleged this was to avoid disclosing information conspirators would not
want to see made public. When asked, Kimmel replied, "Will historians know more later?
Kimmel's reply to this was: ' ... I'll tell you what I believe. I think that most of the incriminating
records have been destroyed. ... I doubt if the truth will ever emerge.' ..." . It is equally,
probably more, likely this was done to avoid disclosing the fact Japanese codes were being
read, given there was a war on."
