From what I have read the oil storage tanks were not damaged and the dry docks were not either. Which the author said were very important. Interesting book I found was 'Day Of Deceit'. I wonder were lies the truth. Seems very good luck that the carriers were not there at the time of the attack! Luck or planning. I've wondered IF you had a idea someone was going to rob you ,wouldn't you try to find out as much as you could and look look look to see where they are? Esp. are govt -unless- we wanted that 'door' open so we could get into the war to save freedom? The US was a pacificist nation after WWI.
