Were the planes parked wingtip to wingtip armed and fueled?&nbsp; If not how long would it have taken them to be armed and fueled to get any decent number in the air?&nbsp; Realistically I'd assume it was only the AF that could really have done something about the Japanese.&nbsp;

A death trap?&nbsp;

I suspect the best action (this is with all hindsight) would have been staying in PH fully alert and ready. Torpedo nets? Yeah! Why the heck didn't they already do that anyway? Serious question, BTW, I've never heard why.

It was better for the US to have their ships sunk at Pearl rather than the open ocean. Many of the ships at Pearl were only saved because they didn't have far to sink. In the open ...
