First target was hit at 7:53 am and the second was hit at 8:55 am, it was all over at 9:55 am. The attack was a total suprise to the Naval Base at Pearl Harbor where 2,403 were left dead, leaving with 188 planes and 8 ships destroyed in the chaos. Although the arial attack was very successful, submarines failed to finish off the wounded ships in the Harbor. Having such a success they had, the Japanese was suprised just as much as the Americans were. Admiral Nagumo led the attack on Pearl Harbor.
