December Day in Hawaii

The sun rises over the calm and quiet United States

Naval Base at Pearl Harbor on the island of Oahu , Hawaii.

It is Sunday , and many of the military men and women

are on leave for the weekend . Most ofces and shops are

closed . Still , the base hums as the military personnel

stationed there go about their daily routines , whether

servicing the vessels and planes that are critical to U.S.

military strength or simply enjoying some much-deserved

leisure .

The U.S. military is growing in strength , developing

the means and training to protect and defend the nation

it serves . Knowing that wars are being waged brutally in

Europe and the Pacic , U.S. armed forces are prepared ,

despite the nations desire to stay isolated from the wars

that seemingly have little to do with its concerns . The

military is ready to deploy if it needs to . But government

leaders are clear : this is not Americas war .

The base wakes up that day under an expanse of

blue sky , dotted with clouds . The sun shines brightly ,

and temperatures are expected to reach into the 80s . The

military personnel have hopes of enjoying some of the

Hawaiian sunshine before days end . Plenty of folks back

home on the mainland might be deep in snow and cold

about this time , but December in Hawaii is almost always a

paradise .

Typical Day

At Service

On December , 1941 , 17,567 men and

women were stationed at Pearl Harbor . Of

the women , were nurses .

Former Navy Captain Douglas G. Phillips , who was

stationed at Pearl Harbor during the attack , later

recounted , I remember very well what I was doing

[ that morning ]. It was my rst day aboard . It was a

beautiful sunny day . I was up and had breakfast

rst one in the wardroom . Then I was up on deck

admiring the scenery and was pretty happy .

Out of the Blue

Spy

Takeo Yoshikawa was a Japanese spy who

reported from Hawaii while posing as a

diplomat . Through telegraph codes , he

advised that the morning of December

would be an ideal time to attack , since

many ships and planes would be docked

and grounded at the harbor . In

destroying them , Japan hoped to

cripple the U.S. military .

On this day , the necessary staff of sailors , soldiers ,

mechanics , nurses , and service people are at work

bright and early , doing their duty for the country they

serve . Although operating in smaller numbers than on

a typical weekday , there is still a rhythm to their work ,

as bets any military station . Everyone can be counted

on to do what he or she is tasked to do exactly when

tasked to do it . In the military , you can rely on people

and systems operating as expected . Its fundamental and

essential . The men and women at Pearl Harbor certainly

know this to be true .

Except on this day December , 1941 it isnt . An

unexpected sound breaks through the familiar clangs

and hums of the station . It is the sound of engines in

the air , coming in fast and low . The engines grow louder
