William H. “The Fourth Scenario,” and Dubois, Brendan. “Victory at Pearl
Harbor” in Thomsen, Brian and Greenberg, Martin H. (eds). A Date Which Will
Live in Infamy: An Anthology of Pearl Harbor Stories That Might Have Been
(Nashville: Cumberland Press, 2001), pp. 175-224. In “The Fourth Scenario,”
Hallan spins a yarn in which the entire US Pacific Fleet was at sea on December
7, 1941, the battle took place (and this time, the Japanese got the worst of
it), but the Japanese also bombed the oil tanks at Pearl Harbor. In this
counterfactual realm, an American admiral said “The Navy runs on oil. And now
we don’t a drop of fuel west of San Diego. You understand? Not a drop of oil
between San Diego and Tokyo. Without those oil tank farms, the U.S. Navy is out
of the Pacific for at least six months or even a year. Maybe more. And that’s
all the time the Japanese need to overrun all of Southeast Asia and pour into
Australia while our fleet sits helpless in port waiting for the tank farms to be
rebuilt. We may have to sue for peace… Because of the fourth scenario, we may
have just won the battle and lost the war against Japan.” In
Dubois’ story, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor occurred just as it did in
the history books, but the American carriers and other surviving ships pursued
and confronted the Japanese after the attack. The results were horrendous for
the Americans. “’We were so stupid and arrogant,’” said the veteran
character telling the story. “‘We thought the mighty American white man, who
hadn’t lost a war ever since the country was founded, was going to take on
these funny Japanese guys… We forgot – most of us, at least – that they
were veterans. They had been fighting in China and Manchuria and Korea…Hell,
about forty years earlier, they had whacked the crap out of the Russians,
destroying their naval fleet. They knew how to fight. And us? We knew how to
polish brass. We knew how to conduct fire-control drills. We knew how to polish
shoes. We were a goddamn peacetime navy, with officers who had never heard a
shot fired in anger. And when we finally caught up to the task force, they
turned on us, they turned on us hard. Like we had been chasing a pack of rapid
dogs. Christ, how they fought…’” Robinson,
Patrick. Kilo Class (New York: HarperPaperbacks, 1998), pp. 508-512.
Admiral Sir John Woodward was Robinson’s naval advisor, and his recount of the
sinking of the fictional aircraft carrier USS
Thomas Jefferson is worth remembering. See also Robinson, Patrick. Nimitz
Class (New York: HarperTorch, 1998). Fiction to be sure, but still plausible
and entertaining. This tome was endorsed by former US Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, Admiral William J. Crowe, US Navy (Retired) and by Captain
Richard Sharpe, Royal Navy (Retired), the Editor of Jane’s Fighting Ships. |
