Caught the last half of a show last night on the military channel showcasing the myths or little known facts of Pearl Harbor.
One was we actually fired the first shot. One of the mini-subs was spotted in the channel heading for the harbor by the destroyer USS Ward. It attacked and sunk the sub before the japanese planes even arrived.
Another was later that evening 5 fighters dispatched from the Enterprise to PH were shot down by friendly fire, killing 4 of the pilots. I imagine everyone on the island was in shoot first ask questios later mode.
