Why did the leaders of the us navy believe a full scale naval attack against Pearl Harbor was impossible?
They believed it was impossible because they thought that there was no way for an entire Japanese fleet to sneak all the way over to Hawaii undetected. In addition, the waters at Pearl Harbor were relatively shallow. So, torpedoes were out of the question. But the Japanese were always a few steps ahead. They added wooden fins to their torpedoes to allow them to be used in shallow water. They also managed to hide their fleets, making it seem as if they completely disappeared. The US Navy & US Army leaders did think an attack was possible but not likely. They thought that Japan would likely attack the Philippines, Guam, Wake Island, and Midway Island. They took military precautions for those possibilities, but not as much thought was paid to the idea that Japan would attack Hawaii also. The actual Japanese attack against Hawaii on December 7, 1941 was not a full-scale naval attack. The surprise attack was an attack by carrier-based aircraft, by midget submarines & fleet submarines only.
