Best Answer

Aircraft with bombs, torpedos and guns. There were also some small submarines that were to attack with torpedos.
Kate torpedo bombers, Val dive bombers, and Zero fighters. The Navy used the Aircraft Carriers to launch the airplanes and 2-man submarines to sneak the the anti-sub nets and launch torpedoes. The most important weapon was the torpedeo. The American's torpedoes were not that reliable and they could not be dropped from an airplane except in deep water. The Japanese designed a way to drop the torpedoes in the shallow harbor.

Planes carrying bombs and torpedoes.The reason it all started was the japanese wanted the island (Hawaii). Their best weapon was the element of surprise and our false sense of security. The boat called the Oklahoma sunk which still had about 419 people in it, many people died on December, 7, 1941, but thank you to all the soliders for saving many of the lifes.

America did not want Japan to take over China, so America stopped trading oil and other strategic materials to Japan. Japan got mad because they needed the oil and materials, and started to plan the attack.
