‘Congress approved an appropriation of $50,000 on March 1, 1869, to deepen the approaches to this harbor.’ But ‘[until 1898] the U.S. did not fortify Pearl Harbor as a naval base. The shallow entrance constituted a formidable barrier against the use of the deep protected waters of the inner harbor as it had for 60 years.’

Hawaiian word error according to my sister in Hawaii. I am also born and brought up there. The Hawaiian word for Pearl Water is given as Wainomi. But the word for pearl is momi. The word should be Waimomi-- Pearl Water.
If we should proceed with something more to confirm this change, please send the details.

In section "Naval Presence (1899 - Present) Recommend to split paragraph after "...base on the island in 1899". What follows after is a separate discussion on the Japanese attack on Pearl harbor in 1941. Recommend to include a link to the more comprehensive page "Attack on Pearl Harbor" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor )Streetcowboy (talk) 13:58, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Please add under Post-World War II:
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will be visiting Pearl Harbor on December 26th with President Obama. This will be the first Japanese leader to visit and is to reciprocate Obama's visit to Hiroshima City in May.

No they're not, both of them are dead and have been for 50-70 years by now. Surely this should be reworded to say "The family of the two American commanders" or "The supporters of..." Anything but wording that states that the commanders themselves are leading the charge from beyond the grave! 95.151.137.144 (talk) 09:40, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

hello you need to give more simple facts off to the side so people don't have to search for the information as much — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.76.88.248 (talk) 23:19, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
The naval base article might discuss the layout, but this article doesn't. Will (Talk - contribs) 05:30, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
It would be nice if there was a map of hawaii or the island that pearl harbor is located on in this wiki article so one can see in context where it is located. It's hard to place where Pearl Harbor is visually. TonyMorris68 (talk) 14:40, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Revision 648068288, dated 20 February 2015 inserted the claim that two American military commanders, Lt. Gen. Walter Short and Adm. Husband Kimmel were demoted of their full ranks, and are now seeking to restore their reputations and full ranks. A citation is provided to an issue of Christian Science Monitor from 1996, but it's presumably not available online, so I can't check it. In any case, the claim that Short, who died in 1949, and Kimmel, who died in 1968, are currently seeking to restore their ranks sounds extremely dubious. 125.255.248.10 (talk) 23:31, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
Is there anything else from the body of the article that anyone thinks should be included in the lede? Boomer VialHappy Holidays! • Contribs 09:04, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Pearl Harbor, T.H. was commonly used by the U.S. Military in World War II as an acronym for Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 18:22, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
According to Callista L. Gingrich and Newt Gingrich, a war game simulated an attack on Pearl Harbor on February 7, 1932. This drill demonstrated the vulnerability of the U.S. fleet stationed there. Source: Gingrich, Callista L. & Newt Gingrich (2021) "Remembering the Lessons of Pearl Harbor," Lost Creek Guide, December 15, 2021, p. 14. Some of the comments in the article: "The fact is the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor . . . [in 1941] should not have been a surprise at all. We knew Pearl harbor was particularly vulnerable to attack -- especially on Sunday morning...." "The naval officials who oversaw the war game initially ruled . . . [the mock attack] a complete success -- and a total loss for the defenders of Pearl Harbor." Kdammers (talk) 17:13, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
I find it very curious that there was
