On 26 November 1941 a force of six aircraft carriers commanded by Vice Admiral Nagumo Japan Chuichi left Hitokappu Bay Kuril Islands and headed to Pearl Harbor without making any direct radio link.
On the morning of December 7, 1941, the armed aircraft bombed the United States military bases on the islands of Hawaii (the largest is the Army air base in the United States military base Hickam Air Force), and most ship docked at Pearl harbor, including the "Combat Ship ".
Almost all American planes were destroyed on the ground only a few fighters managed to escape and fight. Twelve warships and other ships sunk or damaged, 188 aircraft destroyed, 155 had been damaged and the 2403 Americans lost their lives.
Battleship USS Arizona exploded and sank causing the loss of 1100 lives, nearly half of Americans who died. His body was enshrined into memorials to those killed on that day, most of them enshrined in the ship.
Released the first American shots in World War II and the first victim of the attack on Pearl Harbor actually occurred when the USS Ward attacked and sinks Japanese submarine dwarf. There are five class submarines Co-dwarf hyoteki the mentorpedo ship design for the United States when the bombing began.
None of these submarines made it back, and only four of the five that were found since then. Ten sailors from the submarine, nine died and only one survived, Kazuo Sakamaki, who was arrested, he was the first POW captured by the Americans in World War II.
Current image analysis by the Institute of United States Navy - United States Naval Institute shows that there is likely one of a dwarf submarine has successfully entered the harbor, and succeeded in firing torpedoes at the USS West Virginia. Final position of the submarine was not known.
Japanese aircraft carriers involved in the attack are: Akagi, Hiryu, Kaga, Shokaku, Soryu, Zuikaku. Everything has a number of 441 aircraft, including fighters, bombers, torpedo, dive bombers and bomber-fighter (fighter-bombers). Of all, 29 perished in battle. Aircraft attacked in two waves, and Nagumo decided to cancel the third attack to retreat.
The first attack on Pearl Harbor is at 07:53 on December 7, Left Hawai'i or at 03:23 on December 8, Japanese time (see Note troops Striker Pearl Harbor). Japanese military began to enter the border of New Colonial Hong Kong in the morning December 8, 1941 [2].
Hong Kong Time is one hour behind Japan's victory period, with the attacks on Pearl Harbor is the most extensive gig perperangan nearly simultaneous attacks, and instead of beginning -24 hours before the attack in the Asia-picture may appear if a quick look at the date.
