I heard somewhere that after Midway, over the remaining course of the war, the Japanese were able to build seven more carriers.

In the same period, we built 70.

ALSO, the Japanese never came close to reproducing sufficient naval air crews. They built a some more carriers but never staffed them all adequately with full air wings. The loss of so many experienced pilots and crews was devastating.
