1t represents Improvements which
never would have been attempted
had Pearl Harbor not been attacked.
The Associated Press declares: pearl
Harbor has been made the strongest,
most complete naval base in the
world" Specifically, preparations are
finished and ready for any further
assault the enemy may attempt.
Also, the Navy has taken advantage
OF the opportunity to modernize the
ships that were damaged on Deem
Der Z last. Most of them had been
commissioned between 1916 and 1928.
Now they are as modern and as effec-
tive as the latest weapons can make
them. Indeed, 1t has been suggested
that they have been so thoroughly
reconstructed that the japanese
would not recognize them. The same
remark applies to the skyline of the
islands. Something has been added
in anticipation Of an inevitable
reckoning.
