What would the Pearl Harbor attack look like today?
Not like the classic 1970s movie Tora! Tora! Tora!, where waves of Japanese bombers blast U.S. battleships and strafe helpless American planes parked on the ground. And it certainly wouldn’t look like the near-comedic 1980 film The Final Countdown, where a modern U.S. aircraft carrier is sent back in time to Pearl Harbor, and F-14 Tomcats (surprise!) manage to shoot down Japanese Zero fighters.
Let’s assume Japan – or more likely China – attempted such an operation today.
First, there wouldn’t need to be an armada of aircraft carriers launching 353 aircraft to attack ships and airbases on Oahu. A hostile fleet wouldn’t dare sail 200 miles off Oahu to launch an airstrike.
