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?

With out the three fleet carriers, the Americans probably would have lost the battle of midway, the Japanese would have had trouble holding it as the Americans' were producing ships at a huge rate after Midway, the Japanese probably would have tried to fortify their holdings and the great Island hopping campaign though would have eventually been a bigger slaughter as the Americans would have been able to pour more carriers and cruisers and destroyers into the campaign.
As big of a slaughter as the Marianas Turkey shoot was for example, it probably would have been even more one sided. Frankly while the American's progressed their technology in terms of ships and fighters rapidly, the Japanese technology in terms of aircraft and ships fell behind.
The war might have been extended, but the Americans would have eventually been won.
If the Carriers had been destroyed in Pearl, More Aggressive Japanese Admirals probably would have pushed for a seaborne assault of the Hawaiian Islands as the Americans had nothing to really defend themselves between the Islands and the American West Coast.
