Definitely something the U.S. should have been expecting. Considering American war preparations as well as Japan's increasing pressure in the Pacific, when the Japanese fleet left their homeland, then disappeared, someone should have figured out where they could hurt us the worst and also put every base in the Pacific on high alert.
After all, the Japanese had launched a sneak attack to start the Russo-Japanese War that essentially negated the Russian Pacific Fleet. If it worked once, why not do it again.
But, anyway, I will never forget.
Pearl Harbor Day, December 7th.
