Pearl Harbor is a simple embayment on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, west of Honolulu. Originally an extensive, shallow inlet or bay called Wai Momi, meaning "Water of Pearl", or Pu'uloa, by the Hawaiians, Pearl Harbor was regarded as the home of the shark goddess Ka'ahupahau and her brother Kahi'uka.
Today much of the harbor and surrounding lands is a United States Navy deep water naval base serving as the headquarters of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan on December 7, 1941 was the event that brought the United States into World War II.
