Some of the intelligence gathered in Pearl Harbor was done by 'tourists' taking pictures of the layout of the island. Where our military had its strengths as well as weaknesses. What weapons would be available to target, etc. One of the most fortunate events for the U.S. was simply that the Japanese did NOT have intelligence information stating that our Aircraft Carriers would not be in port.

It was also copied from a British attack on the Italian fleet at Taranto. The British used Fairey Swordfish biplanes carrying torpedoes to sink some Italian Battleships. 11 November 1940.
