Below is a timetable of the December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor Attack. The inherent inaccuracies of any timetable of this type require an introduction and some explanation.

It's About Time

The intention behind this project was to create a single minute-by-minute timetable of the significant events of that day, in a reasonably correct order. It was understood from the beginning that it would be impossible for the result to be entirely successful and that has proven to be the case. That is because of the shear volume of events taking place that day and how times were recorded and reported.

In 1941, timepieces were not as accurate and not as synchronized as we have come to expect today. Inside Pearl Harbor, the clock all ships and stations synchronized their timepieces to was the clock in the Navy Yard Signal Tower. This was normally done every day at morning colors at 0800. For a variety of reasons, there were still some time variations between different ships and commands. Even though the times are drawn from the best reports available, some of those reports were written days later and the times were estimated or rounded off. Some of the times can be brought into line with reasonable adjustments; but without a well founded reason to make an adjustment, the times as written stand as the best evidence and so must be relied upon. Readers should keep in mind that times listed here may still be off by a few minutes or perhaps by many minutes. In some cases, the time variances may be enough that the events could have happened in a different order.

To add to the confusion, until 1947 Hawaii's time zone was one of the world's odd half-hour time zones. The times listed here are all listed in Hawaiian local time for December 1941.

Below is a list of the Commands that have had their times adjusted in this timetable for the reasons listed. The times listed for these ships under Time are the adjusted times; times listed in the Entry are listed as they were logged and marked with an asterisk (*).

* YT-153	Times in YT-153's Log are adjusted by 40 minutes based on the entry "0730 - plane then attacked four motored bomber" and the 0810 actual arrival time for the B-17s. This also brings into line the entry "0720 - sighted Japanese dive bombers diving at Hickam Field" and the known 0755 time for the start of the raid.
* Tiger (USCG)	Times in Tiger's log (USCG) are adjusted by 10 minutes to conform with the known time the attack started, 0755; actual time variance may be larger.
* Tides/Moon	Times for tides, moon, and sun entries were drawn from an online tide calculator and should, therefore, be considered as approximate. This calculator reported the times as UTC times and they have been adjusted to local 1941 Hawaiian time accordingly. Also, tides in Hawaii are fairly mild, compared to other coastal areas, so their influence and impact on these events should not be overestimated.

Headings

The headings for this table are used in the following sense:

Time	Local 1941 Hawaiian time: UTC -10.5
Command	This indicates the author or originator of the entry. Several upper level command communications are included but only some list the specific Command issuing them. Most came from CinCPac and so CinCPac became the "catch-all" for those with uncertain origins. The primary source for this table (Source #1) attributes three pieces of communication to "Frank"; it is not known what this refers to and any help would be appreciated. The entries originating from the Japanese striking force are consolidated and listed as from "Akagi," the flagship.
Berth	Location of the event described. Ships berthed or moored are listed by the berth number as listed in the Pearl Harbor Mooring Plan. Other points around the harbor are referred to by their geographical description. "Entrance" is used to describe the waters outside the harbor entrance south of Oahu, including the Defensive Sea Area. "Oahu" is used for events occurring on or around the island but outside Pearl Harbor or the Entrance. "Pacific" is used for areas beyond the waters around Oahu.
Entry	The entry repeats the Time or, if the Time has been adjusted, lists the time as it was logged. Then the Ship or Command is repeated, followed by the entry itself copied as close to verbatim as practicable. The content of many entries conflict with content from other entries; no attempt was made to edit the entries to resolve these conflicts.
Source	Indicates the source from which the entry was drawn; see below. Sources 1 through 6 plus 9 & 10 are drawn from original sources (or close to) while the others are reasonable conclusions, estimates, and/or calculations and readers should consider them accordingly.

Incomplete

This timetable makes no claim to be exhaustive - it is admitted that it is incomplete. The Pearl Harbor Attack has been the subject of a huge number research projects; starting with the US Navy and US Congress shortly after the attack and has been further probed in countless books ever since. The intention here is to continue gathering more and more data and updates to this work are expected to be frequent.

06:30	Antares	Entrance	0630 ANTARES Arrived off Pearl Harbor entrance from Canton and Palmyra Islands with a 500 tons steel barge in tow. It was expected to transfer the tow to a tug at the above time and then enter Pearl Harbor. As the tug was not in sight at 0630 the ship was turned slowly to the east at which time a suspicious object was sighted about 1500 yards on the starboard quarter. This object could have been a small submarine with upper conning tower awash and periscope partly raised but it could not be positively identified as such. USS Ward was notified and proceeded to investigate.	2

06:45	Ward	Entrance	0645 WARD Opened fire with No. 1 and 3 guns and began dropping depth charges set for 100 feet. One shot was fired from each gun. The shot from No. 1 gun missed, passing directly over the conning tower. The shot from No. 3 gun fired at a range of 560 yards or less struck the submarine at the waterline which was the junction of the hull and coning tower. Damage was seen by several members of the crew. This was a square positive hit. There was no evidence of ricochet. The submarine was seen to heel over to starboard. The projectile was not seen to explode outside the hull of the submarine. There was no splash of any size that might results from an explosion or ricochet. Immediately after being hit the submarine appeared to slow and sink. She ran into our depth charge barrage and appeared to be directly over an exploding charge. The submarine sank in 1200 feet of water and could not be located with supersonic detector. There was a large amount of oil on the surface where the depth charges exploded.	2

The attacking planes shot away the propeller and engine from POSTON's plane and he parachuted to safety from an altitude of 4000 feet. The accompanying plane was also shot down. POSTON definitely observed the markings of the attackers, claiming them to be German Messerschmitt 109's with distinguishing Japanese "Red Suns" on their wing tips. POSTON landed beyond the Pali and was taken into custody by two deputized civilian police who returned him to the Honolulu Shore Patrol Station where he was questioned then returned to his ship.	2

09:07	Dale	Entrance	0907 DALE Cleared the channel buoys and by stopping the port engine and coming hard left rudder, caused a flight of three enemy dive bombers to overshoot their mark. As they went by the starboard side close to the water, machine gun fire from the Dale struck the leading plane causing it to burst into flame and to crash into the water on the outer starboard side of the restricted area. The remaining two planes made a very half-hearted attempt to attack again but were driven off by machine gun fire.	2
09:07	Pennsylvania	DryDock 1	0907 PENNSYLVANIA Bomb hit on dock and cut yard power, subsequently power on the ship was taken from storage batteries, meanwhile, fire main pressure cut off.	1

09:11	Cockatoo	Entrance	0911 COCKATOO Began streaming starboad "O" type gear.	10
09:11	Dale	Entrance	0911 DALE Dale established offshore patrol in sector one. Due to repeated airplane attacks the ship was force to make frequent changes of course and to run at high speed, thereby rendering the sound gear inoperative. It may be of interest to note that a great number of the bursts on the water were of the nature of exploding 5" shells rather than bombs. It is believed that either the fuses were not cut on many of the 5" A.A. projectiles or that they were not operative. Several sampans running for the port of Honolulu were past close aboard. White FLAGS, not rags or pieces of wearing apparel, were flown from the masts of these craft. Although difficulty was had in restraining several members of the crew, fire was not opened on the sampans.	2
09:11	Mugford	B-06	0911 MUGFORD Horizontal Japanese bombers passed overhead.	1

09:15	Helm	Entrance	0915 HELM Small enemy fighter plane approached ship from astern (northwest), in medium glide and dropped two bombs, which exploded in water 50 yards off port bow and 20 yards off starboard bow. Plane was sighted by after machine gun crews while close in on dive. They opened fire, but apparently did not hit plane. Ship was swinging rapidly to port, which probably caused bombs to miss. Ship shook violently and all forward part was deluged with water. Steering casualty had just been repaired, but shock shorted relay again and hand steering was continued. Cyro rotor tumbles; all repeaters out. Choke coils tubes and resistors in sound gear burned out; echo ranging inoperative.	2
09:15	Mugford	B-06	0915 MUGFORD Thick black smoke coming from drydock.	1

09:17	Pruitt	B-18	0917 PRUITT Observed low flying pursuit planes strafing with machine gun fire on ships moored in the vicinity of Berth 18. Observers on this ship believe many high altitude horizontal bombs either failed to explode or landed outside the harbor area where they could not be observed. An indeterminate number of fighters took part in the raid, with approximately 30 bombers. Approaches were made on a steady course and all horizontal bombing was made in close formation at about 10,000 feet. The four cruisers and light minelayers in the Navy Yard were straffed several times by low flying planes but not a single bomb appeared to have been aimed at those ships. Small caliber fire of minelayers brought down one Japanese plane.	1
