Operation Vengeance. It was so well planned that they got to the interception point about a minute before Yamamoto. Also, a mission to specifically shoot down the piece of shite who planned Pearl Harbor is pretty awesome.

the piece of shite
He was an enemy serving his country. He was a naval attache in the US before the war, knew and liked Americans, and thought Japan was making a terrible mistake. Nevertheless, he did his duty.
Pearl Harbor wasn't supposed to be a surprise attack, BTW. The Japanese embassy had trouble decoding the message they were supposed to give the Secretary of State and it wasn't ready until after the attack. The Japanese forces fully expected to meet an American fleet on alert and ready for action. The fact that they were still in port and not at sea worked out for the Americans, since many of the ships could be salvaged.
