----------------------------------New Answer-------------------

Dec 7 1941.

7:55 AM the attack on Pearl Harbor begins

Within 12 min the Battelship USS Arizona is down with over 1100 men. Many of them Fathers and Sons

The Battleship USS Oklahoma Rolls over trapping over 200 sailors inside

The Battleship USS California sinks in her berth.

The Battleship USS UTAH is destroyed.

The Battleship USS Nevada without her caption makes a run for open water but the Japanese see a chance to sink her in the channel, therefore blocking the accesses to the ocean for all the ships. She takes 6 bombs and a torpedo hit. The crew runs her aground at "Hospital Point" This prevents her from sinking and keeps her guns above water and in the fight

The USS Vestal (Repair ship) takes several hits. When the Arizona explodes the deck crew on the Vestal is completely blown off the ship, including her caption. He swims back onboard and countermands the order to "Abandon ship." He beaches his ship which is badly listing and keep fighting with his 30 calibers and several small 5in guns. She is not a fighting ship by design. But she fight.

One of the destroyers, without her caption, makes it to open water where she has a better chance to fight. The crew is commanded by four junior Ensigns who have less than 1 year in the service and no "Combat Experience". It's 4 days before the Captain makes it back onto his ship.

The Dutch Cruse liner JAGERSFONTEIN who sailed in from Holland, had machine guns mounted onboard to protect her from possible attack while crossing the Atlantic. She open fire on the Japanese attackers, thus becoming the first foreign nation to assist the United States.

In all eight Battleships are hit. Four are destroyed along with 3 cruisers, 3 Destroyers a Mine tender and numerous smaller ships. 188 aircraft are lost. Over 1100 men wounded and over 2,400 men killed along with 68 civilians.

3 aircraft carriers LEXINGTON, ENTERPRISE and SARATOGA are out on maneuvers in the Pacific and escape any damage.

The Japanese lose 27 planes and five midget submarines.

Answer 2

No U.S. or Japanese aircraft carriers were sunk during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The U.S. carriers were at sea and not at Pearl Harbor as the Japanese leadership thought they would be.

Answer 3

None, there were no aircraft carriers at Pearl Harbour on December 7, 1941. If they had been they would have been the primary attack target and likely would have all been destroyed.
