Sure, the whole thing was staged as the 200+ aircraft at Pearl were lined up wing tip to wing tip so that the Zeros wouldn't waste any fuel or ammo. Anyhow it was all over in 2 hours and no more planes and very few ships left. We are lead to believe that they sunk up on us with 6 carriers that were too small to see and even when the Zeros were spotted via RADAR the report was ignored. We lost just over 200 planes and every ship that was there and they lost 29 aircraft and 5 small subs.. 2280 men killed and 1109 wounded. Now MacArthur was advised of this 1/2 hour after it happened. He responded by hanging a do not disturb sign on his penthouse apartment and suffered the same fate as Pearl Harbor some 5 hrs later. That's why I say it was all staged.

The brainchild of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto
2 attack waves were launched but the 3rd was scrapped for fear that the Americans were already put on high alert after the 1st 2 waves had attacked & would cost the Japanese more equipment & lives
The American carrier fleet were out at sea & were spared
A midget submarine was sunk by a destroyer on its way to Pearl Harbour by a destroyer
On the same day, the Japanese also attacked Wake Island, Hong Kong & Singapore
