Are their special PEARL HARBOR tours available to military personnel?
I will be on Oahu for leave and would like to get an in depth tour of Pearl harbor and the military installations. My buddie says there are special DoD tours for military and their families but I cant find any info about that. Any ideas?
Answer: Not sure if you mean places like Tripler AMC, Fort Shafter, Camp Smith, the Pacific fuel depot, bunkers, Lualualei and Kolekole Pass (where Japanese zeroes flew through on the way to Pearl harbor on Dec 7, 1941), etc., or if you mean Pearl harbor, Arizona Memorial, The USS Missorui and USS Bowfin museums, Pacific Aviation Museum, etc. Either way, here are some options for you:
1. Contact the USO office, as Peter posted.
2. If it's DoD, then contact your Oahu or Pearl harbor MWR office or its equivalent, to find out if they have anything planned.
3. If they are not planning anything, then you can go on a tour offered by any of the tour operators. It is just as easy, maybe MORE easy, to go on your own. Get there early, the Arizona Memorial tickets are limited (and FREE), and are gone by 10am or so. We usually get there by 7am and it's fine except for the long wait. Plan to buy lunch at the snack shops as few other options exist unless you want to brown bag it.
4. A representative from the USS Bowfin Museum was on Hawaii Public Radio several weeks ago, and I'm sure he mentioned that active duty military in uniform get special admission (I think he said FREE). He thought the USS Missouri may also observe this practice. You may wish to contact them to be sure, and to find out if BDUs qualify or do they mean your service uniforms? At the very least, you will get a military discount on the admission, so bring your ID.

What did the Japanese hope to accomplish by attacking PEARL HARBOR?
In WWII what did the Japanese hope to accomplish by attacking Pearl harbor?
thanks for the answers.
Answer: The oil embargo signed by President Roosevelt had severely crippled the Japanese expansionist drives, with more than nine-tenths of their petroleum sources cut off by the United States. Establishing control of the Pacific would allow the Japanese Empire to force the U.S. to submit on favorable terms for the resuming of oil importation, and thus it was decided that the best manner to go about this was to exterminate the American military presence. The attack on Pearl harbor was conducted with the intent of destroying what the Japanese Navy thought were the most valuable targets of interests: Battleships. With these vessels taken out, the rest of the maritime forces stationed in the Pacific could consolidate remaining islands and Allied basis with impunity.
To this end, the ambush itself was a conclusive victory for its immediate goals of sinking valuable tonnage. The images of burning battleships in the harbor shocked the world, and the United States public heralded it as a tragedy. Paradoxically, the material losses of the attack did not assist Japan in the war as they had planned. Firstly, the strategic petroleum reserves in Hawaii were left intact; something which is not often brought up. Secondly, the Japanese had missed the opportunity to sink aircraft carriers that would shape the war to come. Most of the world had then concluded that classic battleships were the utmost important powers at sea, and Japan had even boasted the two largest such vessels ever constructed.
Unfortunately for the Japanese and other military powers of the day, battleships could never even get within range of aircraft carriers before they had long since been sunk or forced to withdraw by swarms of oncoming fighter planes and bombers. Most naval battles of the Pacific Theater would be decided by carrier ships separated by hundreds of miles and well out of visual range of their opponents, thus negating any long term benefits the attack at Pearl harbor would have give the Japanese by sinking obsolete battleships.

How is the attack on PEARL HARBOR taught in Japanese schools?
As Americans, its obvious that we all feel the Japanese did an awful thing when they attacked our naval base at Pearl harbor. I was just wondering how Japanese children are taught and what the overall population thinks about the attack. Is it viewed as having been necessary? Acceptable? Noble? Stupid?
Answer: In my case,we were not taught this incident in detail.
But I thought it was a shameful and unfair way when I was taught this.
On the other hand,as to ''hiroshima'' and ''nagasaki'' ,I felt we japanese were the victims.
Actually,Japanese schools are apt to teach us ''hiroshima'' and ''nagasaki'' with emphasis rather than Pearl harbor attack.

PEARL HARBOR?
whats the historic significance of Pearl harbor?... also tell me whatever you know about Pearl harbor please and thank you for your help
Answer: The road to war between Japan and the United States began in the 1930s when differences over China drove the two nations apart. In 1931 Japan conquered Manchuria, which until then had been part of China. In 1937 Japan began a long and ultimately unsuccessful campaign to conquer the rest of China. In 1940, the Japanese government allied their country with Nazi Germany in the Axis Alliance, and, in the following year, occupied all of Indochina.
The United States, which had important political and economic interests in East Asia, was alarmed by these Japanese moves. The U.S. increased military and financial aid to China, embarked on a program of strengthening its military power in the Pacific, and cut off the shipment of oil and other raw materials to Japan.
Because Japan was poor in natural resources, its government viewed these steps, especially the embargo on oil as a threat to the nation's survival. Japan's leaders responded by resolving to seize the resource-rich territories of Southeast Asia, even though that move would certainly result in war with the United States.
The problem with the plan was the danger posed by the U.S. Pacific Fleet based at Pearl harbor. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese fleet, devised a plan to immobilize the U.S. fleet at the outset of the war with a surprise attack.
The key elements in Yamamoto's plans were meticulous preparation, the achievement of surprise, and the use of aircraft carriers and naval aviation on an unprecedented scale. In the spring of 1941, Japanese carrier pilots began training in the special tactics called for by the Pearl harbor attack plan.
In October 1941 the naval general staff gave final approval to Yamamoto's plan, which called for the formation of an attack force commanded by Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo. It centered around six heavy aircraft carriers accompanied by 24 supporting vessels. A separate group of submarines was to sink any American warships which escaped the Japanese carrier force.
Nagumo's fleet assembled in the remote anchorage of Tankan Bay in the Kurile Islands and departed in strictest secrecy for Hawaii on 26 November 1941. The ships' route crossed the North Pacific and avoided normal shipping lanes. At dawn 7 December 1941, the Japanese task force had approached undetected to a point slightly more than 200 miles north of Oahu. At this time the U.S. carriers were not at Pearl harbor. On 28 November, Admiral Kimmel sent USS Enterprise under Rear Admiral Willliam Halsey to deliver Marine Corps fighter planes to Wake Island. On 4 December Enterprise delivered the aircraft and on December 7 the task force was on its way back to Pearl harbor. On 5 December, Admiral Kimmel sent the USS Lexington with a task force under Rear Admiral Newton to deliver 25 scout bombers to Midway Island. The last Pacific carrier, USS Saratoga, had left Pearl harbor for upkeep and repairs on the West Coast.
At 6:00 a.m. on 7 December, the six Japanese carriers launched a first wave of 181 planes composed of torpedo bombers, dive bombers, horizontal bombers and fighters. Even as they winged south, some elements of U.S. forces on Oahu realized there was something different about this Sunday morning.
In the hours before dawn, U.S. Navy vessels spotted an unidentified submarine periscope near the entrance to Pearl harbor. It was attacked and reported sunk by the destroyer USS Ward (DD-139) and a patrol plane. At 7:00 a.m., an alert operator of an Army radar station at Opana spotted the approaching first wave of the attack force. The officers to whom those reports were relayed did not consider them significant enough to take action. The report of the submarine sinking was handled routinely, and the radar sighting was passed off as an approaching group of American planes due to arrive that morning.
The Japanese aircrews achieved complete surprise when they hit American ships and military installations on Oahu shortly before 8:00 a.m. They attacked military airfields at the same time they hit the fleet anchored in Pearl harbor. The Navy air bases at Ford Island and Kaneohe Bay, the Marine airfield at Ewa and the Army Air Corps fields at Bellows, Wheeler and Hickam were all bombed and strafed as other elements of the attacking force began their assaults on the ships moored in Pearl harbor. The purpose of the simultaneous attacks was to destroy the American planes before they could rise to intercept the Japanese.
Of the more than 90 ships at anchor in Pearl harbor, the primary targets were the eight battleships anchored there. seven were moored on Battleship Row along the southeast shore of Ford Island while the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) lay in drydock across the channel. Within the first minutes of the attack all the battleships adjacent to Ford Island had taken bomb and or torpedo hits. The USS West Virginia (BB-48) sank quickly. The USS Oklahoma (BB-37) turned turtle and sank. At about 8:10 a.m., the USS Arizona (BB-39) was mortally wounded by an armorpiercing bomb which ignited the ship's forward ammunition magazine. The resulting explosion and fire killed 1,177 crewmen, the greatest loss of life on any ship that day and about half the total number of Americans killed. The USS California (BB-44), USS Maryland (BB-46), USS Tennessee (BB-43) and USS Nevada (BB-36) also suffered varying degrees of damage in the first half hour of the raid.
There was a short lull in the fury of the attack at about 8:30 a.m. At that time the USS Nevada (BB-36), despite her wounds, managed to get underway and move down the channel toward the open sea. Before she could clear the harbor, a second wave of 170 Japanese planes, launched 30 minutes after the first, appeared over the harbor. They concentrated their attacks on the moving battleship, hoping to sink her in the channel and block the narrow entrance to Pearl harbor. On orders from the harbor control tower, the USS Nevada (BB-36) beached herself at Hospital Point and the channel remained clear.
When the attack ended shortly before 10:00 a.m., less than two hours after it began, the American forces has paid a fearful price. Twenty-one ships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet were sunk or damaged: the battleships USS Arizona (BB-39), USS California (BB-44), USS Maryland (BB-46), USS Nevada (BB-36), USS Oklahoma (BB-37), USS Pennsylvania (BB-38), USS Tennessee (BB-43) and USS West Virginia (BB-48); cruisers USS Helena (CL-50), USS Honolulu (CL-48) and USS Raleigh (CL-7); the destroyers USS Cassin (DD-372), USS Downes (DD-375), USS Helm (DD-388) and USS Shaw (DD-373); seaplane tender USS Curtiss (AV-4); target ship (ex-battleship) USS Utah (AG-16); repair ship USS Vestal (AR-4); minelayer USS Oglala (CM-4); tug USS Sotoyomo (YT-9); and Floating Drydock Number 2. Aircraft losses were 188 destroyed and 159 damaged, the majority hit before the had a chance to take off. American dead numbered 2,403. That figure included 68 civilians, most of them killed by improperly fused anti-aircraft shells landing in Honolulu. There were 1,178 military and civilian wounded.
Japanese losses were comparatively light. Twenty-nine planes, less than 10 percent of the attacking force, failed to return to their carriers.
The Japanese success was overwhelming, but it was not complete. They failed to damage any American aircraft carriers, which by a stroke of luck, had been absent from the harbor. They neglected to damage the shoreside facilities at the Pearl harbor Naval Base, which played an important role in the Allied victory in World War II. American technological skill raised and repaired all but three of the ships sunk or damaged at Pearl harbor (the USS Arizona (BB-39) considered too badly damaged to be salvaged, the USS Oklahoma (BB-37) raised and considered too old to be worth repairing, and the obsolete USS Utah (AG-16) considered not worth the effort). Most importantly, the shock and anger caused by the surprise attack on Pearl harbor united a divided nation and was translated into a wholehearted commitment to victory in World War II.

How can I prevent PEARL HARBOR from happening?
I have to do a presentation, and I have to change history so that Pearl harbor didnt happen. It cant take any more than fifteen minutes to change it and one thing from the 21st century can be brought back.
And if it cant be prevented, does anyone know a way to make it so that Germany can get an atom bomb before the US?
Answer: Maybe if the military people in charge at Pearl harbor knew that the attack was coming, they could have been ready for it. You could take a book about the attack on Pearl harbor from the present and leave it on the desk of the guy in charge. If you go back to at least a few weeks before the event, the military might be able to come up with a way to prevent it themselves. You just have to hope that they take the book seriously. They might think it was fake, but that would be a pretty elaborate hoax. There is a good chance that they would take the necessary precautions just to be on the safe side.

But why was it seen as a mistake to many Americans and the worst thing that the Japaneses could have done to America at the time, if the succeeded ?
Answer: The United States would probably not have interfered with Japan if they did not attack us, we thought we were friends. Japan could of conquered the whole pacific relatively easy and have been prepared instead they thought we were an immediate threat so they attacked us.

My dad was asleep on the couch with the newspaper over him. She stopped sewing, he sat straight up - wide awake and neither said a word.

How long did the attack on PEARL HARBOR last?
And if you know, who was the new Admiral in charge of the Pacific Fleet after Kimmel and Short?
If you have a good site with more Pearl harbor & aftermath & stuff info, Id be forever grateful. =D
Thank you, in advance.
Answer: It's an interesting question. The first incident in what happened on December 7th was at 3:42AM. The minesweeper Condor spotted a periscope outside the harbor. It radioed an alert.
At 6:45AM the destroyer Ward attacked one of the midget submarines. Arguably, this would be the first shots fired.
At 7:55AM the first bombs were dropped.
That would make an attack of 6 hours 42 minutes.
It appears the last bombs had fallen by 9:30AM.
At 10:04 The St. Louis, which had escaped the harbor, had two torpedoes fired at it. They missed. This appears to be the last hostile action by the Japanese.
Kimmel was relieved of command on December 17,1941. His temporary replacement was Vice Admiral William S. Pye who served out the rest of December and was replaced by Admiral Chester W. Nimitz

Pearl harbor was the event that convinced the Americans to join in WWII which contributed greatly to them losing the war. Wouldnt they see that coming and if so, then why did they continue with the attack?
Answer: The Japanese attacked Pearl harbor because they felt by eliminating our Pacific Naval Fleet they would have several years before America could attack them and by that time they would be strong enough to repel our advances. I'm sure they hoped we would just leave them alone & concentrate on the Socialist Party of Germany run by Hitler also referred to as the NAZI party. Most people in the US don't realize the NAZI party is the Socialist Party and just like America's Democrat Party today they took over the auto, banking & health industry as well.

Why do many historians believe that PEARL HARBOR was the biggest mistake in military history?
Why do many historians believe that Pearl harbor was the biggest mistake in military history?
I understand that the Japaneses succeeded in their surprise attack, that "woke up a sleeping giant".
But why was it seen as a mistake to many Americans and the worst thing that the Japaneses could have done to America at the time, if the succeeded ?
Answer: 1. The Japanese badly miscalculated the American response to the attack. The Bushido-influenced leadership believed that the US population would react to the destruction of the Pacific Fleet by demanding a pull back and conciliation. Instead, as Yamamoto said, they awoke a sleeping giant.
2. The attack wasn't really that successful. None of the four USN aircraft carriers were in port, all but 3 or 4 of the ships hit in the attack were back in service within weeks or months, and most of the planes destroyed were already obsolete and in the process of being replaced.
