Let's get all those eggs in one basket. And make sure that they don't have torpedo nets in place.
Sounds like a plan is starting to come together.
Adm. Richardson will explain this in a week when he forwards Adm. Bloch's 12/30/40 memo on fleet security (See reply #4) to CNO. His reasoning is that since the chance of a Japanese carrier force getting near enough to Hawaii to launch a Taranto-like attack on the fleet is extremely remote, it would not be practical to restrict the use of the harbor by installing torpedo nets.
