Von_noobie, thanks for pointing that out. I may have misunderstood your post. And it's Falcon Jun, not Falcon Jur (apparently it's not a typo because it was used twice LOL).
Let's stick to the parameters of this what if and let's work together from there:
Premise: US loses its carriers during Pearl Harbor attack
My conjecture: Allows Japan to consolidate defensive Pacific buffer. War of naval attrition results with US winning because it could sustain its losses.

Your conjecture: The loss of the US carriers allows Japan to consolidate defense. American people loses taste for war with Japan because of economic costs. Japan gains ability to continuously fight off Allied attempt to the point that Japan has enough ships to venture in other oceans.

I hope you agree that the above is an accurate summary of what we've discussed.
