I read somewhere that the attack had serious effects on the US Pacific Fleet. However, the fact the carriers were not in port, the Japanese didn't bomb the ship repair facilities, nor the fuel storage tanks, was the Japanese downfall. Many of the ships were repaired asap and had the fuel to go to war. We were damn lucky. 7mm
