And we go on to say,
"It should be noted that Japan...
:23:20
...has never preceded hostile action
by a declaration of war.
:23:24
We believe it possible
that a fast-rated...
:23:27
...Japanese carrier force may arrive
in Hawaii with no prior warning...
:23:31
...from our intelligence service.
:23:33
The most favorable time
to the enemy would be dawn.
:23:37
He probably would employ
a maximum of six carriers...
:23:40
...strike on a weekend.
:23:42
- We recommend that the Air Corps... "
- I read it.
:23:45
Yes, sir.
:23:48
I appreciate the work that you
and General Martin have put in.
:23:53
These reports are very useful
to General Short and myself.
:23:58
General Martin, you don't pull

:24:04
"We recommend that the Air Corps...
:24:08
...maintain a thorough
360-degree search...
:24:11
...of the Hawaiian area
during daylight.
:24:14
This will require a force of
180 B-17 airplanes. "
:24:19
We can't search the sea approaches...
:24:21
...unless we have the planes, sir.
:24:23
One hundred and eighty B-17s?
:24:28
For God's sakes, that's more than
the number existing in the States.
:24:32
It looks fine on paper, but that's
not a paper fleet out there.
:24:38
Squadron from the Enterprise.
:24:40
Bill Halsey's working
the tails off his men.
:24:45
Wish we had more like him.
:24:48
Makes the most of what he's got.
:24:52
Doesn't keep asking for the moon.
