Certainly the US aircraft carriers would have been damaged and might have been destroyed. The extra US airplanes might have caused more damage to the attacking Japanese. Even so, the Japanese plan was to make a "statement". The intent was to dissuade any US military operations in East Asia.It may have taken the US another 6 to 12 months to rebuild the carrier force. However, with that said, the US had every chance to win the war.

Was the aircraft carrier saratoga at perael harbor when the world war with japan started in 1942?
The war with Japan actually began in December 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7. No US aircraft carriers were in Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. This was extremely lucky for the US, which had only six or seven carriers altogether, and only three in the Pacific. The Saratoga was in San Diego, California when the attack came, but soon sailed for Pearl Harbor and took part in the first great carrier battles.
