I agree! Deal is though, they wanted California - Oil. Thats why it was looked at.

Had the Japanese taken Hawaii they probably could've done incredibly well over the long run. Seeing as most of the BB and BC and LC that were damaged there were salvaged or repaired and sent out onto active duty. Seizing those ships before they can be repaired would've been a tremendous blow to the U.S. Pacific fleet let alone the attack on PH itself.

okay, sry for the OT post.

Not to mention adding a few thousand miles to the distance we had to travel to get to the front line. Pearl was vital to our war effort in the pacific for sure.

Maybe we should start another thread. But that is a VERY BIG "if".
