In 1941, the U.S. Navy had approximately 1,500 ships, including battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, and submarines. The fleet was relatively small compared to those of other major powers at the time, such as Japan and Britain. However, significant expansion and modernization efforts were underway as the United States geared up for its entry into World War II following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

If there had been NO attack at Pearl Harbor, there would have to be another reason for war between the US and Japan. Without a reason for war; there would be NO confrontation between the US Navy and the Japanese Navy. If the question is asking: Could the Japanese Navy stop the US Navy in 1941 (which was the year of the beginning of the US involvement in WWII...the Pearl Harbor attack); Yes, the Imperial Navy was MUCH BETTER trained and equipped than any other navy in the world in 1941.
