UPDATED 3 Dec 2010: Without the aircraft carrier (AC), the United States would probably not have entered the war when and how it did. The AC allowed the Japanese Navy to successfully attack Pearl Harbor, a feat believed impossible at that time. Before Pearl Harbor, many naval tacticians did not believe that ACs and aircraft could play a major role in naval battles. After Pearl Harbor, they began to think about it, but most still resisted this idea, preferring the old tactics of huge battleships pulling broadside and blasting away until one side retired or sank. The Battle of the Coral Sea was the first naval battle conducted where the opposing fleets never saw each other. They fought via aircraft launched from carriers. This tactic proved so effective that the US depended on it to protect and save Midway and scored the ultimate win by destroying the bulk of the Japanese carriers in the same battle.

Without the aircraft carrier participation in the Pacific campaign in particular the sea war would have been wholly different affair.It was with aircraft for the carriers that the US took control of both the Pacific sea and air.There were five major carrier battles in the Pacific alone in which the opposing forces (naval) never laid eyes on one another.You might like to read this web site for further insight into the carriers role.

they did play an important part in the pacific arena. the Pearl Harbor attack was unsuccessful because non of the American a.c. was hit. the battle of midway was fatal to Japan because they lost all 4 heavy a.c. the flag battle ship of the Japanese wasn't hit and didn't fire one shut, but it made no difference. its time was over already.
