The Single Greatest Mistake That Kimmell Made in Pearl Harbor

The single greatest mistake that kimmell made in hawaii was the failure to t long range aerial search. There was ample evidence that the times had grown tense, and a prudent commander protects his base. He could have done it in a system atic way, out to long distance from haahu, but he didn't. And i think that's the facet of the attack that most don't appreciate. It's just how much everyone knew a war was about to break out,. How the military was, in a sense, warned. The only surprise was where it happened.
