Pearl Harbor (naval base)
Pearl Harbor is a U.S. naval base located on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. It serves as a strategic military hub for the United States Pacific Fleet, supporting naval operations and logistics. The base gained historical significance when, on December 7, 1941, it was the site of a surprise Japanese attack that led to the United States entering World War II. Today, Pearl Harbor also functions as a memorial honoring those who served and lost their lives during the attack, with museums and memorials attracting visitors worldwide.
