A little off topic but if the US Pacific Fleet's 3 aircraft carriers had been in Pearl Harbour and destroyed by the Japanese, would it have turned the tables in any meaningful way? Or would the Vinson-Walsh act eventually have put enough boats in the water that the US would have inevitably defeated the Japanese?
