Although the four US aircraft carriers were not present in the attack, only the USS Enterprise would remain unsunk by October of 1942.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

At the time of the attack, the United States was NOT a world super power.

I miss you more then Michael Bay missed the mark
When he made Pearl Harbor
I miss you more than that movie missed the point
And that's an awful lot girl
And now, now you've gone away
And all I'm trying to say is
Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you

As eloco would say...It's Over.

1 thing that makes me hate the Japs then more than anything?

Because this happened, the movie "Pearl harbor" was made.
