The US government knew the Japanese were going to attack the US and assume that the attack would take place at Pearl Harbor. The US Navy had been practicing for the attack for 20 + years. The surprise of the attack included the time of the attack (a Sunday morning when most US sailors were on leave or hung over from drinking the night before), the Japanese new low angle torpedo (US Navy didn't know Japan had it and assumed that battleship were safe in the harbor).

∙ 13y agoThe USA government did not know about Pearl Harbor Raid Prior to the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. They knew about it After the Japanese attacked. They had no idea it was going to happen Before it took place. The Japanese had great security and were able to catch the fleet at Pearl Harbor off guard. The US government is not perfect and does not know what is going to happen all the time. We were caught off guard on December 7, 1941, and September 11, 2001.
