Used to work on Ford Island in Pearl harbor and pondered how many nukes were targeted on taking out the Pacific fleet base.

The Project Azorian book about the Soviet missile subs tasked to sit offshore Hawaii to nuke it during the cold war. No warning with such short range missiles.

Been there many times. There was a little open-air place at the dead center that sold snacks and was named "Ground Zero Cafe." Everybody, including the workers selling snacks, knew the score.
