Any tips gratefully received for next time

Playing either side, if an advancement is available, you need to upgrade immediately.

Hoping for a Midway type of victory is a long shot in the game, as it was historically.

Unless you're getting "xxxx unit is in basic supply" reports though, everybody is still getting some supply and replacements, some counters will just be recovering efficiency more slowly. It's not something to worry about, just consider rotating a unit out to a big port or back to main supply if it's very low on efficiency and being supplied by an exclamation mark port.

PBEM or against AI? Does the battle occur on your turn or on the Japanese turn?

What version of the game are you playing?
Early versions had a bug in the AI that allowed it to use more than six carriers in a stack giving it a definite edge. Especially in mixed group of CV's and CVL's. AI usually kept all its carriers together in huge stacks while Allies could only have six total.

Screenshot showing the combat results would help to determine cause as well.
