Nimitz believed if Kimmel were aware of the impending attack, he would have taken the fleet to sea in order to intercept the Japanese fleet ending in an even worse disaster for the Americans. The fleet would have fared poorly against the Japanese carriers and Nimitz believed they would never have gotten within shooting range leading to the sinking of the fleet in deep water and at a cost of perhaps 10,000 more lives.
