Pearl Harbor thought.
Ok I was originally going to put this in my Alternate History thread but I want more responses then I normally get for this post. Ok so here it goes. In this scenario FDR, Kimmel and Short and MacArthur(Plus anyone else who'd need to know) know Japan is going to attack Pearl and the Philippines a few months before the attacks happen. They decided to let Japan hit Pearl BUT they also decide to put all the American Carriers on the Japanese flank and wait for them to blunder into their sights.(So basically Midway at Pearl.) They don't launch the attack on the carriers until the Opana Radar Site sends a signal to them that the planes have been spot on the screen. So basically i'm asking you guys this. Once the American carriers launch their planes into the air what happens next? Oh and yes Pearl will be put on full alert the moment the Japanese planes are confirmed to be heading there.
