First come, first served. (English proverb). Those that lie down with dogs, get up with fleas. (Native American proverb, Blackfoot). People are enemies of that which they don't know..
There is another similarity with these two warsâfanaticism and suicide tactics. While Japan apparently did not use suicide tactics at Pearl Harbor, we know of their use of the Kamikaze later in the war. One historian stated that by the end of WWII: 7,465 Kamikazes flew to their deaths; 120 US ships were sunk, with many more damaged 3,048 allied sailors were killed and anther 6,025 wounded Although there may be some question about the exact numbers, the damage done by Kamikazes is almost unbelievable.
In the attack on December 7, 1941, the Japanese carrier planes sank 6 ships, 4 of them battleships: the Arizona, California, Oklahoma, and West Virginia.A fifth battleship, â¦ USS Nevada, was beached to prevent its blocking the ship channel. Three battleships were damaged.ost of the Arizona crew died quickly as the ship blew up and sank. Days after the attack on P â¦ earl Harbor, divers were still involved in the rescue of Oklahoma crewmen.   * Of the battleships at Pearl Harbor, only the Arizona and Oklahoma were beyond repair.
