Not much. Japan couldn't possibly have kept Hawaii past the middle of the war.

There is a nice video somewhere on YouTube that shows the production of US naval ships vs Japanese naval ships in scaled time.

It is shocking the amount of ships that that US was producing starting near the middle of the war. A new destroyer or cruiser rolled out every couple of days. Japan wasn't even close.

I imagine that staffing the ships at some point was going to become a problem.

Probably Military History Visualized's "Why Japan had NO Chance in WW2": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9ag2x3CS9M . Go to the 12:30 mark for the the near-final ship totals.

I’ve never heard of that channel before. That visualization leaves absolutely no questions.
