They had three carriers (one of them crippled); the enemy had eight.

The maintainers at Pearl did a monumental job at getting the battle damaged Yorktown back into battle.

Oh, and the Japanese had 5 carriers at the battle of Midway.

Yorktown undergoing repairs at Pearl Harbor just prior to Midway.

The men did one heck of a job patching her up, though she was not 100% at Midway.
