Intrepid and Iowa were with TF38 heading to engage Zuikaku's Northern (diversionary) Force (Intrepid's planes had been part of the force that sank Musashi the previous day). USS Enterprise was with this group.
Meanwhile the rest of the American shipgirls are part of Taffy 3, and got up close and personal with Yamato and the Japanese Central Force.

Captain Ramius disses said book in The Hunt for Red October, too. "Your conclusion were all wrong, Ryan. Halsey acted stupidly."
