It's a stretch to say the Japanese were "outsmarted".

A reef outside the entrance to Pearl Harbor?!? First I've heard of that! Moreover, a Japanese submarine hiding behind said reef waiting to ambush any ship that may escape the harbor?!? First I've heard of that, too!

The submarine report was erroneous. It was based on the mis-identification of a minesweeping float (which was being towed by the nearby USS Boggs (DD-163)) as an incoming torpedo. Other destroyers arrived on scene and depth-charged the area the suspected mini-submarine was in while the St.Louis rapidly exited the area. A number of authors have perpetuated this story by relying chiefly on the initial reports as their source material rather than the later, corrected, official history of the incident.

Also, with cold boilers, doesn’t it take SOME time to fire up the boilers? And didn’t he mention they didn’t have electricity? It gets a little dark below deck with no lights…

5" and 3" guns are formidable weapons, but they are not "battleship guns". The ones that had been on a battleship were there as secondary armaments. Since the guns they had hadn't been mounted yet, it's well that they weren't of battleship caliber because the men on Wake wouldn't have been able to move them around.

Your description of the Makin raid is a bit off. The issue with the rafts was more of a problem when the Raiders tried to leave the beach and return to the subs. Also they were able to land undetected - the Japanese were not “waiting for them”. They did however respond quickly once the attacking force was detected (due to an inadvertent discharge of a Marine’s weapon).

The St. Louis was tied on the dock at Pearl with the Honolulu tied to her outboard. Honolulu was on fire. A Bomb pierced the dock alongside the St Louis and the blown out water helped put Honolulu’s fire out. The trapped St Louis and Honolulu were then able to get out. Bombers were flying over the two ships to get at the battleships.

USS Argonaut (V-4/SF-7/SM-1/A-1/APS-1/SS-166) was a submarine of the United States Navy, the first boat to carry the name. Argonaut was laid down as V-4 on 1 May 1925 at Portsmouth Navy Yard. She was launched on 10 November 1927, sponsored by Mrs. Philip Mason Sears, the daughter of Rear Admiral William D. MacDougall, and commissioned on 2 April 1928.

Argonaut Class, they only made 1, not unusual back in the day to only make 1 or a few of a class. The first boat built of a class name, is the class name when it come to US submarines. There are also variants within a class too, but it is its still part of the same class.
