2. Planes Used (Japan)
 Mitsubishi A6M ZEKE ZERO
 Nakagima Dive Bombers carrying 500g
bombs and/or DEEP Torpedoes.
Below is the Mitsubishi A6M
ZEKE ZERO, which was used
by Japanese pilots. Also, this
was most commonly used by
kamikaze aircraft fighters who
committed suicide by flying into
the sides of Allied ships.
Below is the Nakagima Dive
Bomber. It carried almost 500g
of explosives and often dropped
torpedoes into the harbor to sink
the destroyers.

3. Innovations On Torpedoes
 The Japanese put wooden fins on their torpedoes.
 This allowed the torpedoes not to sink as far under
the water as regular torpedoes.
The torpedo to the left was
used by German naval
ships…but the Japanese
used similar torpedoes to
that, the only difference
being that the wings of the
torpedo were made of
wood so that it wouldn’t
sink as much as a regular
torpedo would. The
Japanese used this
method because Pearl
Harbor wasn’t very deep at
all.

4. U.S. Ships

 West Virginia-Sunk, returned to service in
1994
 California-Sunk, returned to service in 1944
 Nevada-Returned to service in 1942
 Tennessee-Returned to service in 1942
 Maryland-Returned to service in 1942
 Pennsylvania-Minimal damage done.

5. U.S. Ships (cont’d.)
 Utah-Capsized, total loss
 Helena-Returned to service in 1942
 Raleigh-Minimal damage done
 Honolulu-Light damage, remained in
service.
 Cassin-Returned to service in 1944
 Downes-Returned to service in 1943
 Shaw-Returned to service in 1942

6. Submarines
 Used by the Japanese
 Type A Midget Submarine
 All submarines were sunk by United
States ships like the USS Condor and
the USS Ward
Left: The Type A Midget Submarine to the left
is what the Japanese most likely used during
the attacks on Pearl Harbor. Reports say that
four submarines entered the harbor to fire
torpedoes at naval ships stationed in the
harbor. All four submarines were sunk. Out of
the four, only three shots were fired from the
submarines combined. Out of those three
shots only one hit their target.
