Could the US have won the naval war against Japan with just destroyers?
The US built 73 or so modern DDs in the 30s.
Add up the Benson/Gleaves(96?)
the Fletchers(182?)
the Sumners(58?)

400 or so destroyers not counting the old ones and the Gearings which came on very late...

Uhmm no.

But if Pearl Harbor had worked out for the Japanese and the CVs were there as well we might have had a chance to find out.....
