Things developed in the 1930s were already outdated by 1941-42. The US wasn't at active war so they weren't constantly advancing/producing, though even before Pearl Harbor the writing was on the wall and new planes & ships were being planned.
On top of that, there were other problems like American torpedoes. Those didn't get solved until the war was already well underway.
The US had to go to war with what it had. Learning many hard lessons, but it did not mindlessly throw men to their deaths. Nor did it keep them fighting until they died, crew training became a focus and lessons learned in battle were brought back to students and equipment designers.
