Well there will always be the debate of what was known and when it was known.
Japan, however, did the allies the biggest favor they could have. But for the deaths of Americans, Pearl Harbor was the first step towards American domination of the world by forcing us to modernize our navy, since a good part of the old one was sitting on the harbor basin.

We did still trust the oceans to a great extent, but we also knew that Germany was using submarine warfare and since we were trying to figure out how to spot them still as we waited for GB to develop sonar, nod to the British for always keeping at par with German technological developments, otherwise the Allies would have lost WWII.

Huh? British? Yeah, good thing they developed the P-51 and the B-17, the modern aircraft carrier, the atomic bomb, the Battle of Midway, the Russian winters, Germany's lack of natural resources, Eisenhower, Patton, Nimitz, MacArthur, and the fortitude of the American military and people... :rolleyes:
