More than 150 planes were wrecked; over 2,300 servicemen were killed and 1,100 wounded. Blame was widespread, both on the Officials in Washington and on the Admiral and the General in Hawaii.

Approximately 100 ships of the U.S. Navy were present that morning, consisting of battleships, destroyers, cruisers and various support ships.

If Japan does not surrender, bombs will have to be dropped on her war industries and unfortunately thousands of civilian lives will be lost.The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base.
