We shall NEVER forget.....

Our next-door neighbor, when we lived in Maine, was at Pearl Harbor. He was originally from Norfolk, Virginia and retired to Maine when he was done. It was a peaceful place for him.

Surveilling peacetime Pearl Harbor military activities was an IJN Ensign by the name of Takeo Yoshikawa:

"When the FBI picked him up on the day of the attack, there was no incriminating evidence of his espionage. He eventually returned to Japan in August 1942 in a diplomat prisoner exchange. It was not known for some time that he was the chief Japanese agent in Hawaii."

His messages to his homeland were encrypted; however, the US was capable of reading them.

Unfortunately, "manpower shortage" had left the messages unread.
