Certainly the Japanese Naval leaders believed they could cripple the US Naval fleet but they messed up when they failed to bomb the aircraft carriers in Pearl Harbor. They also did not realize the Americans had other ships elsewhere and could also rebuild or build new ships. The Japanese thought Americans were wusses and dopes. They did not understand their enemy.
