The FBI's main emphasis on the Western Hemisphere and domestic counterintelligence actions.
The Army had military intelligence division in the
and signals and intelligence services, which is a communications intelligence.
And then, yeah, the Navy had our Office of Naval Intelligence, the oldest intelligence agency, going back to 1810.
The diplomatic codes were outside of the Navy and were with the Army, but inside the naval circles there were various kinds of naval codes.
There was the Imperial Japanese Admiral's communication code that had been assigned to Station Hypo in Pearl Harbor, where I spent eight years of my life working.
Those gentlemen out there were restricted from having access to JN-25, which was the fleet communications code that had it been fully broken,
we would have had much more insight into the maneuvering and location of the Kido Betai, the Japanese striking force.
And that was only given to the people in D.C., Station Negat.
They had 230-plus people back there trying to break it fully open.
They had some small breaks, but they didn't really have it fully broken.
Hypo only had in Hawaii, Station Hypo only had 40 people.
And that, before December 7th, they were prohibited from access to that by Admiral R.K.
Turner.
because of the classifications of it, and also because there was this, you know, kind of, we want to control things back in D.C., and you guys out there in the fleet, you don't really know what's going on.
And after December 7th, the guy that ran Station Hypo, Commander Joseph Rochefort,
He said, I'm not listening to those guys in D.C.
anymore, OP20G, the guys that were running that back then.
And he said, I'm going to start breaking it on my own.
I'm not going to follow the imperial admiral's code, Japanese admiral's communications.
