Actually had the Army told the Navy what they saw on the Western Oahu RADAR station and the Navy reacted by immediately going to battle stations and attempting to head to high seas Pearl Harbor would have been a slightly bigger disaster than it was.
If everything worked perfectly they had about 40 minutes from the time the radar spotted the Japanese planes to when the first bombs dropped on Pearl Harbor. On battleship row the Nevada is the only ship with steam up - it could have made for open water - meaning that instead of nearly all her crew surviving and the ship being repaired and sent back into service the crew would have suffered losses similar to the Arizona and the ship sunk in deep water and lost completely. The airfields might have gotten some planes in the air but their reaction time simply means more pilots lost with their planes on the tarmac as they struggled through preflight check lists. The only advantage that might be gained is the AA guns armed and manned as the planes appeared instead of the mad dash to arm during the attack. These guns might have made a bigger dent in the Japanese attacking forces but there was little hope of them reversing the effects of the attack.
