The United States Pacific Fleet was moored at Pearl Harbor and it would take a major US fleet to defeat the Japanese. The attack was so successful in destroying the US Pacific Fleet that a large portion of the US Atlantic Fleet needed to come from the East coast through the Panama Canal to fight the Japanese in the Pacific.
