Attack as if it were a drill .... with calm and courage.

Salute!

To your planes.

Turn into the wind!

- Ten degrees to starboard! - Ten degrees to starboard!

- Commence launching. - Take off!

On December 7 before dawn, Hawaiian time, 350 bombers and torpedo planes took off ...

... from the carriers towards Pearl Harbor, 230 miles to the south.

Soon, it will be dawn in Hawaii.

- Look! The sun! - It's beautiful ...

Captain! I just reached 1000 flight hours.

Congratulations. Keep it up, Lieutenant.

The sun has opened a rift in the clouds.

Thirty-degrees to the right.

I can see it!

The island of Oahu.

Attack as planned!

- All airplanes attack! - All airplanes attack!

Drop!

Dive!

Look out! We're attacking!

Bombs away ...

Dive!

- A message from Tsuji. - Yes?

We have received a message from the attack leader. 'Attack successfully completed.'

- Admiral, we've done it! Success! - Congratulations!

Gentlemen, this is the damage caused by the attack:

5 battleships sunk, 2 seriously damaged and 2 more hit. All the battleships that were in the harbor ...

... two light cruisers sunk and two damaged. Ten other vessals damaged.

... 450 enemy aircraft destroyed on the ground. Much better than we expected!

The United States Pacific Fleet has been destroyed, Admiral.

Yes ... but there were no carriers.

Until we destroy their aircraft carriers, we have not won.

We must engage them in a decisive battle. We can not let our guard down.

'VICTORY IN HAWAII AND LUZON!'

'BRITISH FAR EAST FLEET SUNK'

- What? A celebration party? - Your presence is expected, Admiral.

Who will be at this party?

Navy Headquarters, The Defense Ministry. Foreign Affairs ...

That's enough...

- Tell them I can not attend. - Very well.

I don't think we're in any position to celebrate.

The United States is going to counter-attack us ... soon.

If we give them enough time, our suprise attack becomes a fatal error.

- Wait a moment.

Let the men that were on the attack take some leave.

- Keisuke! - Hello!

-I hate you. - Huh?

- I don't know you. - Pardon?

Good to see you.

Tomoko!

- Sumie! - What happened?

- Guess who's back! Keisuke! - Really?

- He's coming. - Really?

- Yes. - Where is he?

- Down there. - It's been such a long time!

- What's he doing?

- Don't say that ... you're our hero! - Don't be modest!

- You want to hear about everything from Keisuke, right? - Yes!

- Keisuke!

Sister, I have returned!

- Don't talk to me like that. We're going home! - Sorry! We've been dreaming of that.

- It's okay. - See you.

- Heroes always ignore their sisters.

Okay. Today, I'll let you rest.

As if it was you who was going to tell war stories!

- I will be staying a few days but I'll see you later. - See you.

I'm happy for both for them.

- Sumie. - Tell me.

- Thank you. - Why?

I'm a naval officer thanks to you, sister. If it were not for you, I would not have gotten in.

No need to thank me.

Tomoko?

Come here a minute!

- Don't you think that she is even more beautiful than before? - Don't be silly ...

- Tomoko, do me a favor. - What?

- Find a good husband for my sister. - You fool!

- I'm serious. - By the way, did you get my letter?

Which one?

I sent you a letter. Tomoko's parents have agreed that she marry.

What?

When did you write this?

- Well ... in late December. - At the time, I was at sea.

- I have to go, Sumie. - But it's still early!

- I know. -I'll walk with you.

- Good idea. See you later. - Come on.

- Good evening. - Take it easy.

The Fleet won victory after victory. The U.S., British and Dutch forces were ...

... expelled from the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean.

Japan got it's raw materials from the south.

This is a good time to reach a peace agreement.

We could dictate our own terms and conditions.

For example, we could agree to evacuate the occupied areas.

- That will not be easy. - Would it be impossible?

There is too much war euphoria ... a thirst for war.

Those who stand up for peace will considered traitors.

Yes. Everyone has gone mad.

I want you to plan another decisive move ...

... for peace.

We must destroy their aircraft carriers. It is the only way...
