What American ships survived world war 2?
There were a bunch of them that survived, but USS Nevada and USS Saratoga are two of the more famous ones because they were commissioned before the US entered the war and still afloat when the war ended.
What was Yamamotos objective at Pearl Harbor?
To crush US morale and destroy US aircraft carriers before we could stop the Japanese from taking over the Pacific
What were the names of the aircraft carriers before the USS Essex CV 9 and what are the names of the other Essex class carriers of World War 2?
The carriers that preceeded the Essex were the Langley, Lexington, Saratoga, Ranger, Yorktown, Enterprise, Wasp and Hornet. There were 24 Essex class carriers. Hull number ten was the Yorktown, followed by Intrepid, Hornet, Franklin, Ticonderoga, Randolph, Lexington, Bunker Hill, Wasp, Hancock, Bennington, Boxer, Cowpens,Bon Homme Richard, Leyte, Keasarge, Orisikany, Antietam, Princeton, Tarawa, Valley Forge and hull number 47, the Phillipene Sea. A technical point: the Tarawa, Princeton and the Phillipene Sea wer not commissioned before WWII ended but they are "Essex" class and their hulls were laid down before V-J Day. Hulls 9-21, 31-37, 40, 45, and 47 are all Essex Class. Some are called Ticonderoga class, but they are only stretched Essex Class Carriers.
Were the Japanese successful in their goal to sink Americans aircraft carriers?
Successful enough. But it's awful hard to sink "one" aircraft carrier, only to have it replaced with "ten" more! Germany & Japan were defeated by the production line. For every tank, plane, and ship destroyed by the axis (Germany/Japan-Italy surrendered in 1943)...at the very minimum, 10 more took it's place! Another words, if at the start of WWII America had 7 carriers...at the end of it, America had 100 aircraft carriers! If America had 2,000 airplanes before WWII, at the end of it, America had 100,000 airplanes. The axis was out-produced/pure and simple.
What was invented first airplane or steamboat?
The steamboat was invented about a hundred years before the aircraft.
Can planes blow up huge ship and carriers?
I would think so, considering US aircraft destroyed innumberable Japanese ships, from landing craft to aircraft carriers. US Aircraft destroyed the Yamato. and that was in World War 2, well before the high-tech stuff we have today.
What was the battle plan at the Battle of Midway?
At the Battle of Midway, the American battle plan was to lure the Japanese fleet into a trap using the aircraft carriers USS Enterprise, USS Hornet, and USS Yorktown. American aircraft would attack the Japanese carriers, while their own carriers remained out of range. The goal was to neutralize the Japanese carriers and gain a decisive victory, which ultimately succeeded with the sinking of four Japanese carriers.

What was added to planes to make them better in the 1941s?
In 1941, Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation made planes with folded wings that took up less space on aircraft carriers. In 1941, a jet fighter prototype was flown successfully, although the jet engine itself was produced several years before.
Is the USS Nimitz CVN68 decommissioned?
Nope - she's still running. Nimitz was commissioned in 1975, and she underwent a major refueling and overhaul in 2001. The Nimitz-class carriers are designed for a 50 year lifespan, so she's still got a lot of years left in her. As an example of nuclear carrier longevity, the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) is currently on her final deployment before decommissioning later this year. The very first nuclear powered carrier, she was originally commissioned in 1961.
How did the Japanese win against Pearl Harbor?
The Japanese sunk many USA battleships, other surface ships, and destroyed a lot of planes. The Japanese really lost at Pearl Harbor. They failed to sink any aircraft carriers, destroy the fuel storage tanks at Hawaii, or the dry docks. What the surprise attack did was to unite the USA will a vengeance and result in the rallying cry: Remember Pearl Harbor. It was only a few months later at the Battle of Midway, that four Japanese aircraft carriers were sunk to lose of one USA aircraft carrier and from then on, it was only a matter of time before Japan was defeated.
