Out (sic) entire Navy was destroyed with that raid.

Hardly. None of our aircraft carriers were even present, and they would inflict irreversible damage to the Japanese Navy a scant 6 months later at Midway.

I agree that we should never forget.

They also ignored our subs. They did not consider them a threat. Not wise they lost their first ship to a sub, and a lot after that despite some rough starts.
