The US was already providing men and material in both the pacific and european fronts prior to Dec. 7 1941 Pearl Harbor, dude? Look at the 'Lend Lease Act' (Mar1941') which provided war material to the UK? Americans had already enlisted in both the British Airforce RAF and other allied airforces and
fought. The most famous was all AVG known as 'Flying Tigers' July4 1941-42'
fought against the japanese in China.
Pearl Harbor average depth is 45ft. The Japanese sank several battleships but
because of the depth and location the majority of US ships were recovered and back in action . Same for said crew with only a short swim to ford island all of the above 'sunk' ships escaped to fight another day. Note exception of USS Arizona and the Shaw a destroyer. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
in hindsight is 'epic fail' failed to locate US aircraft carriers, failed to bomb fuel bunkers that provided fuel for the US Pacific Fleet operations. Did not bomb shipyard or drydocks located across Ford Island in Pearl Harbor?
