Vice Admiral Theodore S. Wilkinson told the Pearl Harbor committee that an urgent message to the fleet by 8 30 AM on December 7 1941 could have allowed ships to depart Pearl Harbor faster. He estimated six battleships six cruisers and about a dozen destroyers in the harbor and said moving to sea would have risked channel blockages and submarine threats. He argued Puget Sound or San Pedro would have offered less protection than Pearl Harbor.
