Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted January 8 Share #5 Posted January 8 Most people believe the biggest mistake the Japanese made was not catching the aircraft carriers in port or not launching the third wave because they thought the element of surprise had been lost. Their biggest mistake was not destroying the oil storage tanks and fueling facilities for the ships. Without fuel, the US Navy would have been limited only to what oilers (tanker ships) could have provided. If they had taken out the tanks, all ships would have had go to bases back in the States until the tanks had been rebuilt and the facilities restored. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG I laugh my ass off thinking about it. In a way that’s my wife & I. Girl from a quiet small uptight family marries into a large loud ethnic family. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead Posted January 8 Share #8 Posted January 8 My wife watches Investigation Discoveries (ID) channel. Basically true life slasher junk. She loves that stuff. I point out it just glamorizes it and makes money off sensationalism and she doesn't care. I don't like that stuff and yet these people -- real people -- lost their lives in brutal crimes. Tell me women of SWC, why do you like this chit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there was an ammo dump just about a mile away in another part of the harbor. Hitting it could have also left the fleet short of ammo. Actually, it caught fire and exploded in 1944. Fortunately, only a few of the supply ships were destroyed otherwise it could have delayed the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted January 9 Share #15 Posted January 9 One of my favorite, all-time movies. There have been a couple Pearl Harbor documentaries on the Military History Channel and similar other ones lately - probably since Dec. 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, big rabbits can kick.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
