Japan was unable to sink any of the three US Aircraft Carriers, as they were out of the operation zone, at training (one was pursued by a submarine, but managed to sink the sub); Lexington, Enterprise, and Saratoga. If these were to be too vigorously pursued, the Japanese planes might have failed to continue damage on the harbour.

∙ 12y agoBy a random stroke of luck most of the American Aircraft Carriers stationed at Pearl Harbor were out in deeper waters practicing maneuvers when the Japanese attack came. That's why the Japanese commanders considered Pearl Harbor a failure because they weren't able to significantly cripple the American Pacific fleet.
