After Pearl Harbor Japanese Americans on the west coast were put into interment camps. It was thought at the time that there could be spies among them. The west coast had blackouts at nights where all lights along the coast were turned off. Civilians worked as outlooks for submarines and some coastal cities had camouflaged netting across streets. There was a real fear of attack on the west coast of a submarine attack.
