the attack and japan did destroy all the carriers?I think that america could not have won the battle for midway because they had no carriers to fight with.... resulting into a pretty big problem for america maybe the japanese would be able to attack the US west coast.....
ARGO: For starters there would have been no battle of Midway because
Midway was just a rouse to get American carriers. If the US had
lost all the ships at Pearl, It would have set the US back a couple
of years giving Japan exactly what they needed to do. Set up shop
and get sources of oil. Japan "Yamamoto" knew that because of
America's industrial power a war with the US was un-winnable in the
long run so the stategy was simple, knock out in one blow America's
ability to wage war in the pacific long enough to allow Japan to
become full seated in the pacific. That being done the US would
have had a very very hard time re-taking anything with Japan dug in
deep and by two years "or more" having a bigger navy and well
fortified islands. My guess is that "Port Morsby" Austrailia may
too have fallen.
The one equasion left for the US at this point would be to use many A-bombs "If in your alternate history they still achieved this" rather than risk a long, long, pacific campaign. Either way a much bigger loss of life would be the result.
