IMPERILED

Even on the morning of December 7, four or five hours before the attack, had the Navy Department for the first time seen fit to send me all this significant information, and the additional fact that 1:00 P.M., Washington time, had been fixed for the delivery of the Japanese ultimatum to the United States, my light forces could have moved out of Pearl Harbor, all ships in the harbor would have been at general quarters, and all the resources of the fleet in instant readiness to repel an attack.

The Pacific Fleet deserved a fighting chance.

Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, USN (Ret.), 1954
