Some historians believe that some of the armor piercing bombs dropped by the VAL dive bombers may have been converted Japanese battleship "armor piercing" 16 inch shells. Otherwise, bombs dropped were conventional armor piercing and general purpose high explosive (HE), and then the real destroyers...the torpedos.

The origins of the tension between the US and Japan, which ultimately led to the attack on Pearl Harbor, dates back to the early part of the 20th Century. In summary: In response to Japan's declaration of war on China, which occurred in 1937, and then in 1940, further advancing their troops into northern Indo-China, the US demanded that Japan withdraw from China. Japan refused the demands of the US. In July, 1941 after Japan had refused to withdraw from China, the US, (who supplied Japan with approximately 80% its oil resources, and many of the country's other resources) imposed a complete oil embargo on Japan. This decision, and event is what triggered Japan to attack Pearl Harbor. The reason Pearl Harbor was chosen, as point of target, was, in May of 1940, the US Navy had moved its US Fleet headquarters from San Pedro, California, to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Ironically, the move was a planned one on President Roosevelt's part, to counter Japan's increasing maneuvers and presence in the South Pacific. This decision, and the United States' under estimation of the ability of Japan's military to successfully attack the Navy's fleet at Pearl Harbor, was critical to Japan's successful plan and attack.
During a time when the U.S. and Japan were supposed to be having peace talks, Japanese airplanes attacked the U.S. ships that were at anchor in Pearl Harbor. The Japanese wanted to control all of the Pacific, so they told their people that citizens of the United States were too genetically impure to be able to endure the kind of war that Japan would bring.
