I strongly believe that US intelligence knew about this attack, but optioned to not stop it and let the attack happen so sway the American public to join the WW2.
A government falseflagging operations and starting wars that costs 50.000 American lives wouldn't think twice about sacrificing 3500 lives and a few ships to bring a country out of depression and engage in war.

I mean FDR did want to join the war and assist the allies, but the public favored isolationism because of the previous war. Plus, America had no real stake in the second war. So your theory could be true or could not be. Only the government knows.
