However, the United States did not officially enter the war until the Japanese launched a surprise attack on its fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. President Franklin D. Roosevelt appeared before Congress and made a speech on December 8, 1941, which began this way: “Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives: Yesterday, December 7th, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.” The attack on Pearl Harbor damaged or destroyed many of the ships that the United States had there, along with taking many, many lives. Here is a list of just some of the ships that were damaged or destroyed. Find the names of the ships in the word search below.

They transmitted and received messages by phone and radio with a code that the Japanese, who were expert code breakers, were never able to break. Our code is much easier than theirs, but let’s try decoding names of places in the Pacific Theater where battles took place during World War II. We are going to write the names of these battles by finding each letter in a graph and then writing the letter on the line. Follow the directions under the line for finding each letter. For example, if the directions say Across 4, Down 3, (A4-D3) you would follow the Down row 3 over to Across column 4 and find the letter e. In the instructions, we will use A for Across and D for Down.
