From the previous post.
Clyde Combs said the Japanese made four mistakes during the attack:
1. Not bombing the fuel tanks.
2. Only skeleton crews were on the ships because it was Sunday morning. US casualties could have been a lot worse had full crews been there.
3. Not destroying the floating dry dock.
4. The aircraft carriers were not there. As it turned out, it was to be the aircraft carriers that won the war.
Something to Think About. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
