The first attack would be arranged as follows: Japanese pursuit, sixty ships, organized into one group of three squadrons of twenty ships each, two squadrons to participate in combined attack with bombardment and one squadron to remain in reserve on alert. (The Japanese pursuit is comparatively weak, due to the fact that the United States has only two small squadrons of nine ships each at Honolulu.) Japanese bombardment, 100 ships, organized into one group of four squadrons of twenty-five ships each. The objectives for attack are:
(1) Ford Island airdrome hangars, storehouses and ammunition dumps;
(2) Navy fuel oil tanks;
(3) Water supply of Honolulu;
(4) Water supply of Schofield;
(5) Schofield Barracks airdrome and troop establishments;
(6) Naval submarine station;
(7) City and wharves of Honolulu;
