more correct answer:

The three US Aircraft Carriers in the Pacific at the time: USS Lexington, USS Saratoga, and USS Enterprise.

The USS Saratoga was on the US West Coast , just arriving at San Diego from Puget Sound, WA (where it had been in for a short overhaul).

The USS Lexington was at sea with Task Force 11 enroute to Midway Island from Pearl Harbor, then about 500 nm SE of Midway.

The USS Enterprise was at sea with Task Force 8, returning from Wake Island to Pearl Harbor, then about 200 nm west of Oahu Island.

The USS Yorktown was in the Atlantic at the time at Norfolk, VA.

Also in the Pacific, but not at Pearl Harbor during the attack were: USS Colorado (battleship), 11 heavy cruisers, 5 light cruisers, 37 destroyers, and 47 submarines.
