Was the aircraft carrier saratoga at perael harbor when the world war with japan started in 1942?
The war with Japan actually began in December 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7. No US aircraft carriers were in Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. This was extremely lucky for the US, which had only six or seven carriers altogether, and only three in the Pacific. The Saratoga was in San Diego, California when the attack came, but soon sailed for Pearl Harbor and took part in the first great carrier battles.
