Would Japanese attrition work better against Britain than America?

Would Japan's attritional strategy have worked better against the Royal Navy and Dominion navies than against the United States?

No. Britain and the Dominions also had the infrastructure to produce heavily in a war against Japan, so changing opponents would not remove the industrial imbalance.

The proposed comparison assumes that American production made the United States an especially difficult opponent for Japan's attritional strategy. Britain and the Dominions also possessed extensive industrial infrastructure and could produce heavily in such a war. Changing the opponent would therefore leave Japan facing the same underlying imbalance against a larger power. Even completing the Eight-Eight fleet would not remove that problem, although attrition remained Japan's available strategy for trying to make victory prohibitively costly.
