This attack on December 7, 1941 was so devastating on the United States because it completely wiped out all 8 of the US Navy battleships, leaving 4 of them sunk in Hawaiian waters. At 7:48 am, the Japanese began the first of 2 waves of attack on the naval base at Pearl Harbor. There was also no formal warning issued to the United States prior to the attack even though negotiations between the US and Japan were underway.
