[Milsurplus] Remembering Peal Harbor

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

That Japanese did launch two strikes. The third would have taken those 
targets (presumably). The commander was afraid of discovery and 
destruction of his assets by our carriers and other assets (not in port 
that day).

About six months later that is exactly what happened at Midway.

73,

Bill  KU8H
