“Divine intervention imo caused Japanese intel to miss that the 6 U.S. aircraft carriers weren’t in port that day.”
Not Divine intervention. PacFlt only had three carriers. Saratoga was in San Diego on loading it’s aircraft, after leaving the shipyards.
Enterprise and Lexington were out delivering aircraft to Midway and Wake Island.
The other U.S. carriers were in the Atlantic Fleet.
Thanks for the correction. Still hard for me to believe the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor knowing the carriers weren’t there. The movie portrays Yamamoto as very upset at this after-action news.
