Pearl Harbour.
I have heard it said that Bletchley Park picked up increased Japanese radio traffic suggesting that a carrier raid on Pearl Harbour was imminent.
Winston Churchill was informed, but he held the reports back from President Roosevelt in the hope that an unprovoked attack on the Island would bring the Americans into the war in support of the Allies.
Which it did.

Sqaddy - I was gonna say !
'Breaking the emperor's codes ' is quite a good read
The Yanks had broken the Japanese diplomatic code (machine) - an amazing feat but not as difficult as Enigma apparently
and not surprisingly military targets are NOT mentioned in such traffic
The main one the Brits broke was JN25 - which was a book code and then with streams of random numbers added by hand - which they hadnt done by Dec 1941 as far as I recollect.
So long as you have enough messages, you can construct 'depth' - messages with the same additive stream - decide what the random number stream is and take it off ("I spent the war stripping ha ha ha" said one girlie code breaker) and so you are left with code numbers (from a book you dont have) which you can now analyse.
and do it all with pen and pencil and sheets of paper !
wow!
Anyway the convoy to Pearl Harbour maintained radio silence (of course) I thought
so I would be amazed if BP or the outposts - FRUMEL ? HYPO ? picked up signal intelligence (sigint)
The British were pretty supine in the pacific area for the first two or three or four years....
