Why were the U.S. battleships and planes so easy for the Japanese to bomb at Pearl Harbor?

The Americans did not put up a defense during the attack.

They were lined up in neat rows.

They were still at the docks since they had just arrived in Hawaii.

The Japanese had studied maps of the harbor and knew where to attack.
