Question:

How many aircraft carriers were in the pacific ocean when the attack at pearl harbor began?

december 7, 1941


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Alas, the while the writers before me are largely correct, they have overlooked the U.S.S. Langley. Thus, the U.S. had 4. Don't overlook the Langley, our first carrier, sunk with the Asiatic Squadron in '42 while delivering airplanes. She was anchored at Cavite on December 8th when the Japanese struck at Pearl.

The Japanese had nine in 1941.
