I was looking down at Pearl Harbor last night and got to thinking what that Sunday morning must have been like. Sunday's in Pearl are so quiet, and if you're a live aboard sailor you don't roll out of your rack until 11 cause you probably didn't get in until about 3 or 4 if you were lucky. There you are sleeping off those last few shots of whiskey, probably some sonar tests from the Sub base pinging off of the bulkhead of the berthing quarters you're in when suddenly a ping sounds more like a boom, and then another and suddenly "This is NOT a drill, this is NOT a drill, General Quarters, General Quarters all hands man your battlestations." What a frightful experience that would have been.

Me too. It's a shame.

And, the U.S. government let it all happen, to get the U.S. into WWII.

The most important ships were out to see at the time of the attack.

U.S. intelligence knew that the Japanese were going to hit Pearl Harbour in advance.


What was the primary reason for the Japanese attack?

You guessed it: oil.
