WWII Naval battles, for the first time in history, were decided by airpower. And Aircraft Carriers were "that" airpower. When Japan lost most of her best pilots and aircrewmen at the Battle of Midway, Japan lost the ability to win sea battles. Unless the US chose to fight battleship to battleship, Japan still had a good battleship fleet. But by then, the US Navy knew that carriers were the new weapon of choice too! And US carriers could and did destroy Japanese battleships.

The Battle of Leyte Gulf, actually 3 separate battles October 23-26, 1944, ended the effectiveness of the Japanese fleet, already suffering a severe shortage of aircraft, oil, and ammunition.
