What did America do wrong in Pearl Harbor?

How come the USA did not see Japanese forces coming in the attack on Pearl Harbor sooner?
Two waves had been sent into Pearl harbor demolishing the battleline and airforces present. Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo cautiously (and perhaps mistakenly) decided not to launch a 3rd wave to destroy the oil tanks and drydocks at Pearl. His concerns were the increasing casualties he incurred in the 2nd wave and the still missing US carriers which posed a threat to his fleet. The most important thing to examine is that if the American administration in fact knew about the attack on Pearl Harbor, then is it not a huge calculated risk that the Japanese would not conduct a "third wave," completely incapacitating the base at Pearl for use in the Pacific Theatre?

Why ship's insulation falls down during dry docking?
Dry docking entails bringing a vessel to dry land so that submerged portions of the hull are cleaned and inspected. This type of work is preventative as well as a regulatory requirement. Drydocking refers to removing a ship or boat from the water using a drydock. An underwater dry dock is primarily used to inspect, repair, and maintain underwater parts. As a common name for drydocks, graving docks are constructed on land near the waterfront using concrete, blocks, and lock gates. A dry dock is flooded when a ship is docked by opening the lock gate. A locked gate is put in its place and the dock is pumped dry, allowing the craft to gradually rest on blocks resting on the dock floor after it has been brought in and properly positioned. Floating docks, Syncrolift / Shiplift, and Slipways are other options for removing a ship from the water.
