1. Eliminate the US Battle Fleet. 2. Demonstration of power; ensure the US doesn't want to war with such a powerful nation. This "way of thinking" was counter-acted with the US Atom Bomb (in 1941 Japan may have been the most powerful navy in the world; but in 1945, the US was the most powerful nation on earth, because it had nuclear weapons). 3. Test the concept of Aircraft Carriers (Airpower). Could a Battle Fleet of Carriers actually "replace" a Battleship Fleet as the dominant "Warship" of navies? Was it possible for a Battle Fleet of Carriers to successfully move by "stealth" over a large expanse of ocean? Japan and Russia were the only two nations that had ever fought a modern, DECISIVE Battleship "Fleet" Action; at the Battle of Tsushima, on 27 May 1905. Japan and America would later engage in DECISIVE Carrier "Fleet" Actions. Pearl Harbor would test that theory.
