My father was there. Had been there since mid-October. There was a Japanese sub spotted in the harbor a week before the attack.
My father said that every Friday and aircraft carrier and two battleships came into the harbor, and an aircraft carrier and two battleship went out of the harbor. Except on Friday, Dec 5, 1941 - then all the air craft carriers left Pearl Harbor.
Yeah, it wasn’t a surprise attack for everyone.
