Three days before Pearl my father received flash traffic to immediately sortie and intercept the Jap fleet headed for Pearl. He was on a four stacker tin can in Alaska. He told me they went to sea with ammo on deck. They were recalled shortly after. From that point on he believed Roosevelt knew about the attack and did not warn the fleet. I believe Pearl was was set up as bait for a probable Jap attack. That attack was to be the catalyst to get the United States into WWII. Based upon my father's report FDR knew the Japs took the bait. Those men at Pearl were sacrificed to get us into the war.

The entire U.S. Navy had been on war warning alert since November 1941, because we knew the Japanese Army and Navy were mobilized for military campaigns in British Malaya and other as yet unidentified Japanese targets. U.S. naval units in the Philippines, Alaska, Midway Island, wake island, and more were in fact dispatched to conduct war patrols to monitor the Japanese movements.

Why do you assume a destroyer in Alaska had anything to do with an opposed Japanese strike in the Hawaiian Islands, when we already know Alaskan naval units were patrolling against a Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands in November-December 1941?
