Pearl Harbor

Pearl Harbor was an American naval base before the Great War.

Background
In 1941, Japan attacked the base in a preemptive strike, as an attempt to keep the United States from interfering with Japanese expansion in the Pacific Ocean. A soldier in the Anchorage Reclamation simulation claimed that the Chinese fleet at Anchorage made the invasion of Pearl Harbor look like an academy exercise.

Appearances
Pearl Harbor is mentioned in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation Anchorage.

Behind the scenes
A slide showing the real world sinking of the U.S.S. Arizona appears in the intro of Fallout.
