I think the
Hornet leaving San Francisco in broad daylight was a good strategy. Anyone watching would see the deck crowded with B-25's and assume the
Hornet was ferrying them to Hawaii or Australia thereby causing the Japanese to believe she was someplace she wasn't.
If any Japanese agent at Pearl failed to spot the Hornet arriving, Japanese intelligence would just assume she was heading to Australia, or New Zealand.
