Japan's Navy was at the height of its power shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Even then it was only about "even" with the US. The US had just commissioned two brand new battleships in 1941 and commissioned 4 more in 1942. Japan commissioned one in 1941 and a second (their last) in the summer of 1942, the rest of their battleship fleet were old ships similar to what the US lost at Pearl Harbor.
The attack on Pearl Harbor sank some old battle ships that were hopelessly out of date and out of shape and were certainly not ready to fight a war in the vast reaches of the Pacific. Even the battleships that were lightly damaged (like the Pennsylvania) were pulled out the war zone and returned to US ship yards to overhauls and rebuilding. The US had as many aircraft carriers and much better aircraft carriers as Japan. More importantly the US had more submarines and the the correct battle plan utilize them.
Japan couldn't mount more than an air raid on Pearl Harbor - their ability to invade, occupy and supply a tiny island 2300 miles from the US mainland didn't exist. Much less some type of invasion of the US mainland.
