The Japanese never replaced the carriers they lost at Midway. Meanwhile we in the US built over thirty fast carriers - carriers so fast the old battle wagons couldn’t keep up with them - and a host of carrier escorts. I.e. jeep carriers.

When WW2 ended the US had 109 carriers in the Pacific. Most were escort type carriers.
