It would have been interesting if Yamamoto didn't win out and the Japanese "old guard" won out and attacked with battleships instead of aircraft. Along Mahanian theory.

Along those lines, do you think Japan could have held the Hawaiian Islands, if they had an invasion fleet following the attack? Do you think they could have taken the Islands if they wanted? Maybe skip the Philipines and put all of that effort into Hawaii?

Just a thought.
