You can also start at Wikipedia. Some of the battles are very well documented, including date/time as well as long/lat. If you don't know the name of the battle, search the island or island group for a good start. You can use 'Battle of Coral Sea', or just 'Guadalcanal', as a for instance.
Saves a lot of trips to the library or Amazon.com, and its a lot faster.
I'm not sure how RSRDC handles fleet positions. In other words, do the fleets start at their actual starting ports, and sail all the way to the battle, or do they suddenly 'appear' at the battle position at the correct time/date. If the latter, they won't show up if you are closer than about 20 miles to the battle location when they are supposed to generate.
I have been 'involved' with both Midway and the Battle of Tassafaronga (part of the Guadalcanal Campaign). Very exciting! I even sank a 'wounded' light cruiser at Tassafaronga (and lived through an eight hour depth charging for my trouble).
Good hunting!
