The hypothetical Royal Navy attack on Pearl Harbor's airfields

An alternate-attacker example applies a different night-attack concept to the same unprepared air bases.

Question

What would the Royal Navy do to Pearl Harbor's air bases in the hypothetical attack?

Short answer

The proposed scenario uses a night attack and the fuel-air weapons Alex says Britain was interested in developing.

Notes

Alex returns to a question about how the Royal Navy would attack the airfields in an imagined 1941 conflict with the United States. He connects the proposal to British interest in fuel-air weapons and a night attack. The claimed devastation is conditional on the scenario and on the readiness picture he gives for Pearl Harbor. No actual Royal Navy operation against the base is being described.
