At the Battle of Pearl Harbor, the US did not attack or sink any Japanese ships. It wasn't until the Battle of Midway a few months later that the US got revenge by sinking or damaging some of their carriers that were involved in the Pearl Harbor attack.

The names of the Japanese aircraft carriers involved in the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor were the following:

Akagi; Kaga; Soryu; Hiryu; Shokaku; and Zuikaku.

The latter two ships were new ones and its airplane pilots were new to battle.

There were more than four. The battleships, Arizona, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Utah, the Nevada was grounded on hospital point do as not to sink in deeper eater. The Ogala was sunk, the Cassin snd Downes sunk in drydock due to the captain of the Pennsylvania ordering the drydock flooded. The Shaw blew up and sank. All ships but the Utah and Arizona were refloated. These two remain where they sank on December7, 1941. The rest were put back into service except the Oklahoma. She was righted, refloated, stripped and towed back to the US. But sank enroute.

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.
