Submarines and Aircraft Carriers
Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was an attempt to disable the US Navy. Fortunately the aircraft carriers were not in port and the effort was unsuccessful.
None. Dedicated bombers are exclusively the domain of the Air Force. Fighter/Bombers and attack aircraft can be found in the Air Force, Navy, and Marines. The US Army has no such aircraft.
The attack was successful as it eliminated the US Battleships. The attack was a failure because it failed to eliminate the warships that counted...aircraft carriers.
December 7 & September 11 are very similar. Both were surprise attacks. Both occurred on US soil. Both were conducted by AIRCRAFT. Both attacks had similar numbers of casualties. Both attacks were caught on film. Both brought the US into GLOBAL WAR; World War II & The Global "WAR ON TERRORISM." Differences: 1. December 7, was NOT a suicide attack by aircraft, but a conventional air raid (aerial attack). September 11, WAS a suicide attack by aircraft. 2. December 7, was an attack by Japanese WARPLANES. September 11, was an attack by OUR OWN CIVILIAN Airplanes (Hi-jacked/Captured). 3. December 7, was an attack by HUNDREDS of aircraft. September 11, was an attack by only 3 or 4 aircraft (two into the World Trade Center buildings; one into the Pentagon, and one into an open field). 4. December 7, was an attack by Aircraft Carrier Launched Airplanes; September 11, was an attack by Land Based (Civilian) Aircraft.
