Yes. Even though the attack at Pearl Harbor decimated the U.S. fleet, several ships (Such as the Enterprise) were not at Pearl Harbor during the attack. These aircraft carriers spearheaded the war on the Pacific Front, which ended after two atomic bombs were dropped on Japanese islands. So yes, America ended the war Japan started.
