The Japanese warship that sank when it was launched was the Yamato, specifically during its launch on August 8, 1940. However, it was not the Yamato itself that sank; rather, it was the earlier battleship Kirishima, which sank in a different context during World War II. The Yamato was launched successfully and later became one of the largest battleships in history, ultimately sinking during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945.

Unbeknown to the Japanese, the American carrier carrier fleet had left on a training mission and was therefore undamaged. Japan declared war on the US at the same time as the raid and the US responded appropriately. So the answer to your question must be that the USA was fighting for lost pride and revenge.
