Hawaii is peaceful during most of 1941, but the Japanese are preparing to
change all of that in this episode. Japan has been preparing for war for years
as they conquered most of China. They plan on attacking the United States next
and expand their empire all the south to Australia. Admiral Yamamoto designs
a plan to attack Pearl Harbor. The US Navy Department breaks the secret code, but
it is too late as the Japs attack on December 7, 1941. There are over 2,400 Americans
killed and another 1,200 wounded. Japan only loses 64 sailors and pilots. In the aftermath,
the United States Navy undertook the largest salvage operation of all time and rebuilt
the navy stationed at Pearl Harbor to eventually help defeat the Japanese empire.
