Nevertheless 68 civilians were killed. The real tactical mistake was on Admiral Nagumo for withdrawing his fleet without a third wave to take out the oil tank farm. The strategic mistake of Japan was thinking the war depended on battleships. Someone had the foresight to pull the American carriers out to sea before the Pearl Harbor attack and we all know what happened later at Coral Sea and Midway.
