No, it was not a suicide mission, but it was a surprise attack. The Japanese launched aircraft from six Aircraft Carriers, the planes that survived the attack returned to their carriers. The Japanese only lost 29 aircraft, 4 midget submarines and only had 65 soldiers killed or wounded in the attack. This was out of a total of 353 Japanese aircraft invoved in the attack. The attack on Pearl Harbor was December 7th 1941, and Kamakaze pilots were not used until 1944.
How come the US carriers at pearl harbor were not destroyed?
The attack by Japanese dive-bombers, torpedo planes and fighter aircraft on Pearl Harbor clearly demonstrated the superiority of aircraft over surface ships. It follows that the American carriers, with their large number of attack planes, posed a significant threat to the Japanese fleet. Failing to destroy the American carriers (because they were not present at the US base) meant that the major US strike force was untouched in the attack. Had the carriers been sunk, the Japanese could easily have attacked the west coast of the USA.
