And the “Doolittle Raid” did NOTHING, they dropped a few bombs on Tokyo with little damage to show and lost all of their planes and almost all of their crews, that raid pretty much proved that B-25 bombers were NOT Carrier Planes
What the turning point for the US Navy was the Midway Battle, where Navy Carrier air groups kicked the crap out of the Jap carriers.
The Imperial Japanese Navy never recovered.
Factually untrue!
Of the 16 crews involved, 14 returned to the United States or reached the safety of American forces, though one man was killed while bailing out.

Massive damage wasn’t the point of the raid.
