The United States recalled the complete defeat of the American fleet and naval aviation.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese military aircraft inflicted the largest defeat on the American Navy in history - 77 years ago, the US Navy lost almost 200 of its combat aircraft, 4 battleships, two destroyers and one minelayer in less than a day.
