The most vital evidence in the Pearl Harbor matter consists of our intercepts of the Japanese diplomatic communications. Over a period of years our cryptograph people analyzed the character of the machine the Japanese were using for encoding their diplomatic messages. Based on this a corresponding machine was built by us which deciphers their messages. Therefore, we possessed a wealth of information regarding their moves in the Pacific, which in turn was furnished the State Department—rather than as is popularly supposed, the State Department providing us with the information—but which unfortunately made no reference whatever to intentions towards Hawaii until the last message before December 7th, which did not reach our hands until the following day, December 8th.

6. As he made clear in his testimony of December 7, 1945, Marshall was referring to the December 3, 1941, message from a Japanese agent in Honolulu to Tokyo establishing signals for reporting ships and their movements in Pearl Harbor. It was not deciphered and translated by U.S. cryptanalysts until December 11. (Pearl Harbor Attack, pt. 3, p. 1138. The December 3 document is printed in Department of Defense, The “Magic” Background of Pearl Harbor. 8 pts. [Washington: GPO, 1977], vol. 4 Appendix, A-151-A-153.)

144. Mr. Fujii Changes American Ship Maneuver Signals
On December 3, 1941, Ichiro Fujii informed the chief of the # 3 section of Military Staff headquarters that he wished to change his communication signals for American ship maneuvers. Signal one would mean that the battle ship divisions included scouts and screen units and were preparing to sortie; signal two that a number of carriers were preparing to sortie; signal three that all battleship divisions had departed Hawaii between December 1 and 3; signal four that several carriers had departed between December 1 and 3; signal five that all carriers had departed between December 1 and 3; signal six that all battleship divisions had departed between December 4 and 6; signal seven that several carriers had departed between December 4 and 6; signal eight that all carriers had departed between December 4 and 6.
A house on Lanikai Beach would be used as a signal station and would show lights during the night. One light in the window between 8 and 9 p.m. would denote signal one, one light between 9 and 10 p.m. would mean signal two, and so on; two lights between midnight and 1 a.m. would signify signal five, and so on. It was further explained that if there was a star on the head of the sail of the Star Boat it would indicate signal one, two, three or four; if there was a star and the Roman numeral III it would indicate signal five, six, seven or eight.
Also used at night would be the attic window of the Kalama House, located on the east coast of Oahu northwest of Lanikai. A similar system was to be used; for example, if the window were lighted between 1900 and 2000, it would indicate signal three, between 2000 and 2100, signal four, and so on.
In addition, signals would be transmitted through the regular broadcast station in Honolulu. For example, if a radio advertisement read, "Chinese rug for sale, apply P.O. Box 1476", it would indicate signal three or six, whereas the advertisement, "Beauty operator wanted, apply P. O. Box 1476" would indicate signal five or eight.
In case the light or broadcast signals could not be sent from Oahu, the signals would be given by bonfire daily on Maui Island until the Japanese "EXEX" signal was received. The signal bonfire would be located at a point halfway between lower Kula Road and Haleakala Road, and would be visible from seaward to the southeast and southwest of Maui Island. If the fire was seen between 7 and 8 p.m., it would indicate signal three or six; between 8 and 9 p.m., signal four or seven; and between 9 and 10 p.m., signal five or eight.[423]
145. Consul Wires Movement Report of Rarin and Wyoming
On December 3 Consul Kita wired that an unidentified military transport had sailed out toward the mainland, that the Rarin had sailed into port [424] from San Francisco, and that the Wyoming and two seaplane tenders had left port. There were no other ship movements on this day.

234. Officials Directed to Destroy Codes
On December 2, 1941, the Japanese Embassy in Washington received an order from Tokyo to destroy all codes except one copy each of the "O" and the "L" systems. Only one code machine, however, was to be destroyed; from this United States cryptanalysts learned for the first time that the Japanese Legation in Washington possessed more than one code machine. Further proof of this was the fact that on December 3, 1941, the day after this "destruction order", there was normal volume in machine traffic between Washington and Tokyo. Also, all of the codes brought to the Washington office by Courier Kosaka were to be destroyed by burning. This dispatch was read by United States cryptanalysts on December 3, 1941.

How Roosevelt Attacked Japan at Pearl Harbor
Myth Masquerading as History
By R.J.C. Butow
At the White House on Wednesday, December 3, 1941, FDR was alert to what was happening in East Asia, but he was not entirely correct in his assessment of the situation. He erroneously thought "he had the Japanese running around like a lot of wet hens" because he had asked them why they were pouring military forces into Indochina. He came much closer to the truth when he said: "I think the Japanese are doing everything they can to stall until they are ready."

Pearl Harbor: Fifty Years of Controversy
Charles Lutton
Commander Charles Hiles wrote the best article to yet be published concerning the "Bomb Plot" Messages. Tokyo requested specific information about the movement and location of major warships berthed at Pearl Harbor. On December 3, the Japanese consul in Honolulu, Nagao Kita, informed Tokyo that he had set up a system of codes confirming the movement of various American warships through the use of signals in windows at Lanikai Beach, which could be spotted by off-shore "fishing" boats and submarines. This vital information could then be passed on to the Japanese carrier task force. The signal system would operate through December 6th. The Kita messages to Tokyo were intercepted and decrypted by U.S. intelligence. Thus, Washington knew that Pearl Harbor was likely going to be attacked and by what date. None of this information was passed along to the U.S. Army and Navy commanders at Pearl Harbor.

Sailor Missing From World War II Identified (McCloud)
By December 19, 2016
Navy Fire Controlman 2nd Class Donald R. McCloud, missing from World War II, has now been accounted for.
On Dec. 7, 1941, McCloud was assigned to the USS Oklahoma, which was moored at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, when the ship was attacked by Japanese aircraft. The USS Oklahoma sustained multiple torpedo hits, which caused it to quickly capsize. The attack on the ship resulted in the deaths of 429 crewmen, including McCloud. No single vessel at Pearl Harbor, with the exception of the USS Arizona, suffered as many fatalities.
From December 1941 to June 1944, Navy personnel recovered the remains of the deceased crew, which were subsequently interred in the Halawa and Nu’uanu Cemeteries.
In September 1947, tasked with recovering and identifying fallen U.S. personnel in the Pacific Theater, members of the American Graves Registration Service (AGRS) disinterred the remains of U.S. casualties from the two cemeteries and transferred them to the Central Identification Laboratory at Schofield Barracks. The laboratory staff was only able to confirm the identifications of 35 men from the USS Oklahoma at that time. The AGRS subsequently buried the unidentified remains in 46 plots at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (NMCP), known as the Punchbowl, in Honolulu. In October 1949, a military board classified those who could not be identified as non-recoverable, including McCloud.
In April 2015, the Deputy Secretary of Defense issued a policy memorandum directing the disinterment of unknowns associated with the USS Oklahoma. On June 15, 2015, DPAA personnel began exhuming the remains from the NMCP for analysis.
DNA analysis and circumstantial evidence were used in the identification of his remains.
Interment services are pending.
