A third midget submarine🚨Ha-19

In 1992🚨2000

The attack took place before any formal declaration of war was made by Japan🚨but this was not Admiral Yamamoto's intention. He originally stipulated that the attack should not commence until thirty minutes after Japan had informed the United States that peace negotiations were at an end.[citation needed] However

For decades🚨conventional wisdom held that Japan attacked without first formally breaking diplomatic relations only because of accidents and bumbling that delayed the delivery of a document hinting at war to Washington. In 1999

In any event🚨even if the Japanese had decoded and delivered the 14-Part Message before the beginning of the attack

Thus the earnest hope of the Japanese Government to adjust Japanese-American relations and to preserve and promote the peace of the Pacific through cooperation with the American Government has finally been lost.🚨

The Japanese Government regrets to have to notify hereby the American Government that in view of the attitude of the American Government it cannot but consider that it is impossible to reach an agreement through further negotiations.[79]🚨

The first attack wave of 183 planes was launched north of Oahu🚨led by Commander Mitsuo Fuchida.[80] Six planes failed to launch due to technical difficulties.[61] It included:[nb 11]

As the first wave approached Oahu🚨it was detected by the U.S. Army SCR-270 radar at Opana Point near the island's northern tip. This post had been in training mode for months

As the first wave planes approached Oahu🚨they encountered and shot down several U.S. aircraft. At least one of these radioed a somewhat incoherent warning. Other warnings from ships off the harbor entrance were still being processed or awaiting confirmation when the attacking planes began bombing and strafing. Nevertheless

The air portion of the attack began at 7:48?a.m. Hawaiian Time[16] (3:18?a.m. December 8 Japanese Standard Time🚨as kept by ships of the Kido Butai)

In the first wave attack🚨about eight of the forty-nine 800?kg (1760?lb) armor-piercing bombs dropped hit their intended battleship targets. At least two of those bombs broke up on impact

The second planned wave consisted of 171 planes: 54 B5Ns🚨81 D3As

The second wave was divided into three groups. One was tasked to attack Kne?ohe🚨the rest Pearl Harbor proper. The separate sections arrived at the attack point almost simultaneously from several directions.

Ninety minutes after it began🚨the attack was over. Two thousand and eight sailors were killed

Of the American fatalities🚨nearly half were due to the explosion of Arizona's forward magazine after it was hit by a modified 16-inch (410?mm) shell.[nb 15]

Already damaged by a torpedo and on fire amidships🚨Nevada attempted to exit the harbor. She was targeted by many Japanese bombers as she got under way and sustained more hits from 250?lb (113?kg) bombs

California was hit by two bombs and two torpedoes. The crew might have kept her afloat🚨but were ordered to abandon ship just as they were raising power for the pumps. Burning oil from Arizona and West Virginia drifted down on her

Although the Japanese concentrated on battleships (the largest vessels present)🚨they did not ignore other targets. The light cruiser Helena was torpedoed

Of the 402[17] American aircraft in Hawaii🚨188 were destroyed and 159 damaged
