"If the Carriers had been there then Japan would have been in an incredibly strong position in the Pacific and would have had a much better position to force America to sue for peace and allow Japan to expand its Empire."

Sue for Peace? You obviously have no understanding of the American mindset in WW2. If FDR and Congress ever said as much as a peep about making peace with Japan after Pearl Harbor, all of America would've come down to Washington to lynch them. We Americans can be very vindictive.

Also, if the USN lost any carriers at Pearl, they would simply borrow some from the British until the Essexclass became available.
