I often asked myself that question... Where were the flat-tops?

On 7 December 1941, the three Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers were USS Enterprise (CV-6), USS Lexington (CV-2), and USS Saratoga (CV-3).

Enterprise: On 28 November 1941, Admiral Husband E. Kimmel sent TF-8, consisting of Enterprise, the heavy cruisers Northampton (CA-26), Chester (CA-27), and Salt Lake City (CA-24) and nine destroyers under Vice Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr., to ferry 12 Grumman F4F-3 Wildcats of Marine Fighting Squadron (VMF) 211 to Wake Island. Upon completion of the mission on 4 December, TF-8 set course to return to Pearl Harbor. Dawn on 7 December 1941 found TF-8 about 215 miles west of Oahu.

Lexington: On 5 December 1941, TF-12, formed around Lexington, under the command of Rear Admiral John H. Newton, sailed from Pearl to ferry 18 Vought SB2U-3 Vindicators of Marine Scout Bombing Squadron 231 to Midway Island. Dawn on 7 December 1941 found Lexington, heavy cruisers Chicago (CA-29), Portland (CA-33), and Astoria (CA-34), and five destroyers about 500 miles southeast of Midway. The outbreak of hostilities resulted in cancellation of the mission and VMSB-231 was retained on board [they would ultimately fly to Midway from Hickam Field on 21 December].

Saratoga: Saratoga, having recently completed an overhaul at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Washington, reached NAS San Diego [North Island] late in the forenoon watch on 7 December. She was to embark her air group, as well as Marine Fighting Squadron (VMF) 221 and a cargo of miscellaneous airplanes to ferry to Pearl Harbor.

Yorktown (CV-5), Ranger (CV-4) and Wasp (CV-7), along with the aircraft escort vessel Long Island (AVG-1), were in the Atlantic Fleet; Hornet (CV-8), commissioned in late October 1941, had yet to carry out her shakedown. Yorktown would be the first Atlantic Fleet carrier to be transferred to the Pacific, sailing on 16 December 1941.

Answer 2

There were no CVN's during that time. The 'N' indicates it is a NUCLEAR ship.

Answer 3

CV was the makings for the Carriers in WWII, the N means Nuclear powered

CV-2 Lexington was out near Midway Island, she was in combat the day after near Wake .

CV-03 Saratoga was transporting planes out to Wake Island

CV-04 Ranger was stationed in the Atlantic

CV-05 Yorktown was in the Atlantic

CV-06 Enterprise was with Saratoga

CV-07 Hornet was near the west coast on crew shakedown.

CV-08 was USS WASP


Their were only three carriers stationed at Pearl Harbor Lexington, Saratoga, and Big E. Yorktown worked in the Atlantic and was moved over to the Pacific.

Answer 4

US had three carriers in the Pacific at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack. The Saratoga, Enterprise and the Lexington. They were all at sea, so they were not destroyed.

Also CVN refers to nuclear powered carriers only. Regular carriers are CVs.

Answer 5

that is been carried out.... Any plane that the president is in is Air tension a million. "Air tension a million" isn't continually the 747 which you spot. The term is used purely whilst the president exchange into on board. quite a few years in the past whilst he did land on the plane provider and proclaimed; "challenge performed", the airplane he landed in exchange into then Air tension a million. as quickly as he disembarks the airplane, the pilot radios in and relinquishes the call "Air tension a million". humorous... after reading the responses.. anybody thinks that AF1 is often the 747 we are use to seeing. no longer the case. there exchange into an incident some years in the past the place a C130 landed on an air craft provider. purely carried out one time... A 747 on the different hand would desire to by no capacity accomplish touchdown on an plane provider

Answer 6

there were four stationed at peral harbor, however, they were all underway at the time. I know two of them were the USS Enterprise, and the USS Yorktown, howver I don't remember thier designations.

None of them were cvn's the "N" indicates nuclear propulsion, and there were no nuclear crriers until the 60's.

Answer 7

I'm sorry, I can't help with any more than that they weren't present during the attack, thankfully.
