By this you mean that the Army wouldn't talk to the Navy who
had clear communications with Pearl.
Which does not reflect on HF, but the choice of what
frequencies to use.

The HF bands are useless for emergencg services.
The local PD & FD used to use the Low Band FM, The moved to High
Band FM, then to UHF, and now seem to be more dependent on cell
phones.
As for emergency traffic on HF look at what happened on
December 7th, 1941!
