USA feared second Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii according to the U.S. Joint Intelligence Committee. Daily summary dated 11 March 1942

An item referred to a reliable British source which predicted that the Japanese would attack Pearl Harbor again in the near future to destroy the naval base completely as it was an important threat for their targets. Personally the source that Japanese were not afraid of great losses in realizing their objectives and they tend to do the unexpectedly. The initial bombing attempt was not a complete success but they would try to do it again in a combination of flying boats with warships or submarines.
