There's no way we could have come up with a reliable timeline for repairs, since this is a scenario where we already failed to adequately defend it once. Why even bother repairing it without signing a peace treaty first?

The size of the canal itself isn't a limiting factor there. At any given time they have panamax ships parked all up and down that bitch.

PS EPAH, this is assuming the bombing was successful. If you have other thoughts to add please take them to another thread.

I love the logic of the OP which assumes that:

(i) Japan had the capability to defeat the greatest war machine ever constructed

and also

(ii) Japan never contemplated blowing up the route its opponent could use to get to Japan

Didn't we send everything over to Japan from the West Coast? Why would the Panama Canal be that important?

Pearl was already at the limit of Japan's ability to fuel and supply a carrier strike force. HI to Panama is ~5,000 miles. Adding 10,000 miles round trip would've been a suicide mission

The great white fleet was able to maneuver around the world pre-canal just fine and that was decades of tech earlier.
