IIRC Zimm was an an operational analyst with the US Navy. In his book he is quite critical of the Japanese execution of the attack...the over-concentration of the torpedo attack on just 2 of the battleships, the failure of the most of the 800 kg bombs as well as many of the 250 kg bombs and the inclusion of the mini-subs which nearly gave away the whole ball-game prematurely.

Good video though.

A war (cough) movie can't be wrong!?

10/10.

Amazing how I learn so much better from a video. I have read plenty of books on the subject but the diagrams really give me a better understanding of the attack and how unsuccessful it was considering the American vulnerabilities and total surprise. But target fixation was just a plan fact of war no matter how well trained aircrews were. The same thing happened when Allied aircrews attacked and sunk the two Japanese super battleships in two actions. They just kept pounding the two obviously mortally wounded BBs in spite of plenty of unharmed lesser targets in the vicinity.

+1 for Zimm's book. And for Action Stations.

Excellent work!
