British night-fighting training could magnify American carrier power

How would British night-training techniques affect the US Pacific campaign if adopted after Taranto?

After a training delay, American carriers might gain the ability to locate, fix, and strike Japanese forces at night, potentially changing battles such as Midway or the Coral Sea.

American institutions already possessed relevant ideas, but widespread night capability would require deliberate spending and roughly six months of training. That timing could make the new methods available around the Coral Sea or Midway. British night doctrine aimed to inflict damage when an opponent could respond less effectively, offsetting the likelihood that a globally dispersed Royal Navy would fight locally outnumbered. Applied to American carrier striking power and supported by airborne radar, the same approach could produce especially destructive night attacks on Japanese carriers.
