Did the US fight back in when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor?
Yes. Even though the attack at Pearl Harbor decimated the U.S. fleet, several ships (Such as the Enterprise) were not at Pearl Harbor during the attack. These aircraft carriers spearheaded the war on the Pacific Front, which ended after two atomic bombs were dropped on Japanese islands. So yes, America ended the war Japan started.
Where there Japanese POWs from the Pearl Harbor attack?
No, those shot down died in the crash or didn't surrender This is not correct. There was one POW taken at Pearl Harbor: Kazuo Sakamaki, a midget submarine officer.
Did America have any idea the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor?
The United States Navy Commanders and Roosevelt felt they would attack elsewhere such at the Philippines, Midway or the west coast. Therefore Pearl Harbor had their guard down. The Commanding officer of the Pearl Harbor base and fleet lost his command due to his failure to have the sailors ready for action at all times. Roosevelt was in the middle of negotiations with a Japanese official at the time of the attack. Radio messages and warnings went unheeded so Pearl Harbor was descimated due to failures on the part of communications officers.
How many US planes were bombed at Pearl Harbor?
In the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japanese forces on December 7th 1941 destroyed 188 planes.No data can be found as to how many planes have been destroyed in the entire history of aviation in that given location, though I doubt it's much more.

What was Japanese goal to hit pearl harbor?
To catch them with their pants down while most were still in bed, all ships were still in harbor like sitting ducks.
What did America use to attack Pearl Harbor?
Pearl Harbor was part of America. It was the Japanese who actually attacked Pearl Harbor. What they did was they sent a large number of aircraft into the Harbor. The objective was to destroy as much of the U.S. Navy positioned there as possible. To do this, they did many things. They bombed the ships and shot them with the armaments on their planes. (What I mean is they bombed them and shot them with missiles and guns.) Also, they crashed into the ships. When a plane either ran out of ammo or was about to go down, the pilot would attempt to crash into a ship. Most of the planes had explosives in them that they did not use, so when they needed to do this they could add a bigger bang to the explosion.

Was there a bombing on Pearl Harbor?
The Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii is what finally brought the US into World War II. There was massive devastation as this large naval installation was caught entirely unaware. Large portions of the US navy was destroyed in that one fell swoop by the Japanese kamikaze pilots. The US had to scramble to rebuild ships for the remainder of the war. There is a memorial to one of the ships that went down in relatively shallow water in the harbor, the USS Arizona. Many visitors of all nationalities visit it every day.
