It wasn't a mistake. There were only 3 carriers in the Pacific. Two ( Lexington and Enterprise) were out on assignment delivering aircraft to outlying bases and Saratoga was in San Diego.
Yorktown was in the Atlantic.
Not only the 3 carriers were away from Pearl, but a number of heavy cruisers, cruisers, and destroyers, too.
