On Sunday, December 7th, 1941 the Japanese launched a surprise attack against the U.S. Forces stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
By planning his attack on a Sunday, the Japanese commander hoped to catch the entire fleet in port.
The first strike began with 183 fighters and torpedo bombers striking at Pearl Harbor and other targets. A second strike was launched at 0715 hours.
