Why is fighting easier on modern battleship than on eighteenth-century battleship?
Like comparing a wooden stage coach drawn by horses to an all steel engine powered automobile (a car).
Can you really compare the two?
Think about it: An 18th century battleship wasn't even a battleship in today's sense of the word. It was a wooden ship powered by cloth sails; like a wooden stage coach drawn by horses. No comparison.
What almost sank Aeneas ship.?
At the very opening of the Aeneid the Trojan ships are underway to Italy and are very near landfall. Juno - who hates the Trojans - persuades the King of the Winds (Aeolus) to send a mighty storm which sinks several of the ships, breaks up the fleet, and forces the surviving sailors to put into shelter on the north African coast.
There are several points in the Aeneid where Aeneas' ship almost sinks, but the likeliest answer is to your question is :the storm sent by Juno.
Why hadn't America joined the war before pearl harbour?
When the Japanese seized Manchuria and then invaded China and began to drive to the south they put their country on the road to war with the United States. The aggression was a result of the West's efforts to weaken Japan as an economic rival after WW1. The Great depression, Japan's population explosion and the need to find new resources/markets to continue as a first rate power were other causes of the invasion. Neither Japan nor America would have come to the brink of war except for the social and economic disruption of Europe after WW1 and the rise of communism and fascism. FDR brought the differences to a head on the night of July 26, 1941 after learning that the Japanese army had pushed into Indochina and he froze all Japanese assets in America. This resulted in all trade with Japan was stopped and Amercia the major source of oil imports for Japan left them in a bad positions. On November 20 Washington promised bit ti make any more aggressive moves south, restore peace in China and remove all troops in southern Indochina to the north of that country. In return America was to sell Japan a million tons of aviation gasoline.
Bitter political controversy had clouded the issue of war or peace in America. Interventionist were convinced that the nation's future depended on its helping crush the aggression of other nations. They pushed through the Lend Lease Act committing America to unlimited aid "short of war." to the enemies of the Axis. The United States would be the "arsenal of democracy". The opponents of intervention were the right wing American Firsters of Charles Lindbergh, Senator Borah, the communist and labor parties, and the isolationist Midwest. Pearl Harbor decided the question.

Do the Japanese recognize December 7?
It was December 8 in Japan, because Japan is on the other side of the International Date Line from Hawaii.
And no, they do not. The Japanese have tried to sweep the ugly facts of the history of their effort to conquer Asia and the western Pacific under the rug. Its barely mentioned in Japanese schools. They are PROUD of their war criminals, whose names are included in the Yasakuni Shrine. One who ate an Australian flier's liver served in the cabinet, and dozens have served in the Japanese parliament. The Emperor was the biggest war criminal unhung.
About all most Japanese are told in school about their war for empire is that somehow in there, they were the VICTIMS of the big, bullying US in the world's only nuclear attacks. So, the date they remember is August 7. (Hiroshima was on August 6 in the US).
And US education seems to be coming around to the Japanese point of view, that the evil Americans made victims of those poor, pitiful little Japanese. Ignorance reigns supreme.
