I want to know the answer to the following question:
What were the most vital American ships at the time of the attack?
All the background I'm provided with is that "At the time of the attack, the U.S. was not officially at war anywhere in the world, which means that the people killed or property destroyed at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese attack had a non-combatant status.[nb 11]". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
