80 years—Pearl Harbor
Nov 29, 1941

Oahu, Hawaiian Island National Territories:

The cramped ship space of Pearl was not the only Naval knot in the stomachs of Hawaii's U.S. command.

The harbor was surrounded by heights from which anyone on a public road could view.

And it was a lovely sight of the expanse of Oahu-- to the east, Diamond Head mountain overlooking Waikiki Beach and Honolulu, and to the west wall of the lochs of Pearl, whose mouth opened to the sea on the south edge of Oahu.

Since March, Takeo Yoshikawa has enjoyed the view
Under the cloak of having diplomatic papers as a vice-consulate and with an alias name, Yoshikawa is an IJN intelligence officer monitoring the coming and goings of U.S. aircraft and ships at Pearl and all Oahu.

Twice weekly, he sends reports through diplomatic codes to Tokyo.

Oahu, Hawaiian Islands:

The USS Enterprise slips out of Pearl Harbor with its escort ships, forming Task Force 8.

Thread Image
TF 8 was ordered by Kimmel to deliver a dozen fighters from Marine fighter squadron VMF 211 to reinforce the squadron's fighters already operating on Wake Island.
The carrier USS Lexington is to deliver additional Marine Corps fighter planes to Midway and leave Pearl on Dec 5, the day before the Enterprise returns on Dec 6. This rotation by Kimmel keeps at least one carrier in Hawaiian waters at all times.

The communique decoded imply negotiations with the United States are failing and that after November 30, "things are automatically going to happen."
With other intelligence and locating significant movement, this news caused the Joint Chiefs to issue a notification to Admiral Kimmel and General Walter Short, commander of all Army forces in Hawaii.
