Question

Which U.S. acquisition was considered to have the best harbor in the Pacific for large naval vessels?

Fiji

Tahiti

New Zealand

Hawaii

Answer 1

I'd go with Hawaii. That's where the Pacific Fleet would be based out of and why the Japanese would hit it in a surprise attack.

Answer 2

Hawaii.

Answer 3

One other reason why Hawaii was considered a good idea was because it was believed to be too shallow for torpedoes -- though the Japanese figured out a way around that.
