The only real effect PH had was it started the war. If we knew they were coming most likely the ships would've been sent out. Many think that would've been doom, since we floated the old BB's, but I doubt near as many would've been lost had they gotten to the open ocean and ready for battle. Who can know the outcome if the carriers got involved, but they would've become prime targets and possibly sunk....Like it or not, the old BB's sunk really had no war value compared to the carriers...It was certainly better we were able to use our carriers at Midway with us having the advantage of surprise..
