Why was the attack at Pearl Harbor not considered a complete success?

It was a tactical victory for the Japanese Navy, because they had destroyed much of the UN Navy's battleships; with a low loss rate. It was a strategic victory for the US Navy, because the USN would now rely on AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, since the battleships were out of commission. If the USN had used battleships against the Imperial navy's carriers, the USN would have lost the naval war to Japan. US entry into the war is also considered a strategic defeat for Japan,which is true, but this is a "catch all phrase" for lazy historians to use...as the US may well have entered WW2 for other reasons, as it did in WW1 (for unrestricted submarine warfare reasons). German submarines and US Navy surface vessels had been trading shots well before the Pearl Harbor attack; therefore it was only a matter of time before someone declared war (again, as happened in WW1). Therefore, the real strategic defeat for Japan was the US Navy's concentration on airpower (carriers) instead of the obsolete battleships, which they certainly would have used, if they had not been sunk!


How many of Japen's planes were destroyed in the battle of Pearl Harbor?

first answer: Japan lost 29 aircraft, and 55 airmen.second expanded answer:During the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 the Japanese lost over 30 aircraft & five midget-submarines along with their crews.The Japanese used five midget-submarines in an attempt to sneak past the US anti-submarine nets at the harbor's entrance, and to torpedo ships inside the harbor. All five were lost without inflicting damage on US ships. Four were sunk with their crews, and one was captured with its crew after it ran aground outside the harbor.The Japanese lost one Zero fighter at take-off of the 1st wave. The pilot was rescued. Then during the attack they lost nine aircraft & crews in the first wave, and twenty aircraft & crews in the second wave. Details of losses of First Wave: 3 Zero fighters, 6 Kate torpedo-bombers & 1 Val dive-bomber; Details of losses of Second Wave: 6 Zero fighters & 14 Val dive-bombers.First wave lost 9 of 183 attacking, which is 4.92% of force.Second wave lost 20 of 169 attacking, which is 11.83% of force.Overall they lost 29 of 352 attacking, which is 8.24% losses.Additionally, of the Japanese aircraft that landed back on their carriers, 74 were damaged as follows: 23 Zero fighters, 10 Kate torpedo-bombers & 41 Val dive-bombers. Several of these severely damaged aircraft were pushed over-board, after the crews got out, during landings to make room for more aircraft landing behind them. Of the 396 aircraft on-hand at the start of the attack, only 292 were available for combat operations immediately after the attack.The Japanese lost 54 aircrew including 29 very experienced pilots in this surprise attack, and unfortunately for them, they only trained 100 naval pilots per year. Thus it would take about four months to replace these pilots (with less experienced ones) lost in the first two hours of the war. Although most historians have repeated the often stated phrase that the Japanese suffered "light" losses in the attack, I think that losses were more serious, given that it was a surprise attack and in comparison to the numbers of attacking aircraft used.The Japanese also lost the submarine I-70 when it was sunk three days later by aircraft from the USS Enterprise (CV-6) in Hawaiian waters.

What was the significance of kamikaze in World War 2?

The goal of Japanese Kamikaze suicide pilots was to crash their planes (often filled with explosives and gasoline) into American ships in attempts to cause as much damage as possible. Kamikaze strategy had some benefits opposed to the conventional dropping of bombs or torpedoes. Kamikaze attacks had a higher success rate, and could deliver a larger explosive payload. A successful kamikaze attack against a small force of ships could hamper that force's operational capabilities. However, by 1945, the US fleet was large enough that kamikaze attacks, even successful ones, generally had little effect on fleets' overall operational capabilities.

Was japan going to bomb us after Pearl Harbor?

It is an interesting question. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese pursued an aggressive campaign against U.S. territories in Asia, but they never struck directly at continental U.S. There is some speculation that they planned to return and capture Pearl Harbor, providing an advance base, but the likelihood of Japan being able to conquer the United States would have been very small. Isorouko Yamamoto cautioned the Japanese government that the United States would quickly be able to bounce back from their defeat at Pearl Harbor, and that the Japanese should instead concentrate on solidifying their holdings to make the Americans consider total war too dear to pursue. At any rate, towards the later stages of the war, the Japanese used small balloons to send explosives over the Pacific, and there were even plans to use a Plague-filled biological weapon on a major U.S. city, but these plans were vetoed with the expectations that if used the resulting American rage would ensure Japan's total annihilation.

What was the key element that the Japanese needed to ensure victory at Pearl Harbor?

The element of surprise. The Japanese military took an uncompromising gamble of hoping this attack would crumple the United States into such a state of paralyzed shock that the U.S. would NOT enter the war, because they understood that once the U.S. would get involved, Japan's success rate would greatly diminish. And they also underestimated the full physical size of the US since only a few had actually been to the US.

An exchange rate of 120 between the Canadian dollar (CAD) and the Japanese yen (JPY) means that 1 Canadian dollar is equivalent to 120 Japanese yen.

A higher exchange rate implies that the Canadian dollar has more value compared to the yen, while a lower rate would suggest the opposite.
