There are TWO affects from the battle: 1. US entry into WW2; which changed the course of civilization. 2. US victories in the Pacific Theater of Operations in WW2; which changed the course of civilization. A. Had those obsolete US battleships NOT been sunk, the US would have used them (the obsolete battleships) to engage the Imperial Navy...Battle of Coral Sea, Battle of Midway, etc. B. Had the US Navy engaged the Imperial Navy's AIRCRAFT CARRIERS at those particular battles (with those obsolete battleships)...and NOT concentrated on building and utilizing Aircraft Carriers (as the USN actually did in WW2); the United States Navy would have "Lost" those battles. C. Had the US Navy "Lost" those particular battles; a chain reaction would/could have occurred. Potential lost battles at: Midway, Coral Sea, Guadalcanal, Santa Cruz, Tarawa, Solomons, Saipan, Guam, Philippines, Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, etc. D. Losing battles as history has recorded it, would change history as we know it today.
