Aircraft carriers, that had come from the Japanese home islands to within 100 miles of the Hawian islands. The first attack wave struck at 8am on Sunday morning, when the Japanese knew that the US navy was at it's most vulnerable, with most sailors on leave in Honolulu, and the ships would be unable to get out to sea. Torpedo attacks on ships that were stationary at their docks, made it very easy to sink them.
