I was listening to this account on the radio this morning
We are familiar with the surprise attack. However, I didn't realise the extent of disbelief and lethargy of the high ranking naval officials in the city area, despite loud explosions, and black smoke being visible from the harbour area. Admirals continued with their breakfast whilst a ship was being swerving then dissapearing in view of the dining room! When a hysterical woman came in, and told them what had happened, they told her she must be imagining it. However, gradually one by one the truth dawned on them and they quietly filtered out.
