First off because is strengthened American resolve. Before this America was reluctant to get in to the war at all, and did not want a war in Europe and the Pacific. This event railed people up and got the average American invested in the war. Strategically, the fact that the Japanese did not destroy our aircraft carriers was very important. Going in to the war, the navy's of the world still thought that Battleships were the key to naval success, but the aircraft carrier turned out to be the key in the pacific theater.
