The reason that Japan attacked pearl Harbor (they hit the Phillippines several weeks later)

Within 6 months of Pearl Harbor the ships that could be salvaged had been repaired, new ships were starting to come online, and Midway pretty much destroyed the Japanese carrier fleet.

Some of the ships that were salvaged were not fully repaired until 1944.
