Best Answer

Survivors were very surprised at the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. For one thing, they had no warning. For another, it was very early on a Sunday morning, so most of the soldiers were still asleep when it happened.

Additionally, communications are vital in any war, be it at Antietam or Pearl Harbor. US Naval intelligence had placed Japanese warships, including the ones used at Pearl Harbor, at bay in their home ports near Japan.
