My god. What nonsense are they teaching in the schools now. The Japanese used Missiles in WWII? Thats a new one. I supposes they guided the missiles to their respective targets on Battleship Row with a laser / satellite targeting system too. And let me guess, somehow, some way, Bush 41 was involved in the plot?

The "guidance system", such as it was; was a human. the Okha (flyingblossom), the Allies called it Baka (fool); was rocket powered, flown into attack position by a twin enginned bomber prior to launching. Needless to say, it was a sitting duck during this stage to us navy and army fighters...

think about this before asking a question like that
Why would the US Want to Destroy their own pacific fleet
why would they want to destroy billions of dollars of equipment
why would they want to destroy the most powerful ships on the sea
etc etc

Sorry if this has been already stated...but I needed to repeat. I do not believe any bombs were dropped, nor any missiles fired, I remember reading that it was strictly torpedos and it is probable some of the artillery shells kept in the warships being attacked could have been blasted into the air intact, and would have then exploded coming back down to the ground mistaken for Japanese bombs.
