Americans moved a significant portion of their Pacific Fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor primarily to enhance naval defense and strategic positioning in the Pacific region, particularly in response to growing tensions with Japan in the late 1930s. Pearl Harbor's location provided a more central base for operations across the Pacific, allowing for quicker naval responses. Additionally, the move aimed to deter Japanese expansion and strengthen U.S. military presence in the area, culminating in a significant buildup of naval forces leading up to World War II.
