65 years ago, on December 7th, 1941, the Second World War has come to the Pacific, ater the Empire of Japan had attacked Pearl-Harbor, Hawaii. The signal to launch the air raid was - “Tora! Tora! Tora!” - ‘Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!’ in translation. The successful operation of vice-admiral Nagumo’s strike forces caused heavy losses among US personnel and ships – 5 battleships were sunk, while 3 other, along with 3 cruisers and 4 destroyers were badly damaged. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the president of the United States, has addressed to the Congress and nation, calling this day - ‘The day of infamy’.
