Interesting looking show coming on the History Channel Tuesday evening (July 27th). Tech Effect Pearl Harbor. Airs at 9 Pm EST. This one looks to compare the various technological advantages of each side at Pearl. Here's the link.
Tech Effect Pearl Harbor

Easy comparison! The Japs have CGI Zeroes. funky ammunition loaders in white jumpsuits, a CGI battlefleet, and CGI AP bombs. Oh and a buncha admirals that look like they are meeting on the set of Ran.
The US has Ben Affleck in a CGI Spitfire during the BoB, a CGI P-40 during the attack on Pearl (which has the "secret weapon" of Affleck's blinding smile to cause Zero pilots to crash into each other), and in a B-25 during the Tokyo raid. Also has a non-CGI (but possibly ahem "enhanced") Liv Tylor [:D], and an "oops" pregnancy, possibly caused by an invisible Frodo.
All in all, it only needs 100,000 CGI Japanese clone/storm troopers and a Waffen SS version of Jar Jar Binks to have as many CGI effects as Revenge of the Sith. [:-]

You forgot the
Perry frigates and the fatal game of aerial chicken. In fact, there can be no mounting of B-25's on carrier decks and no plucky raid to change the course of the war without chicken.

You are correct, they were Spruances. My husband served nearly 3 years on one, and seeing them in those scenes is the highlight of the movie for him. (Tells you what he thought about the rest of the movie![:)])
