Welcome!
Early in the war the game sometimes spawns Revenge class BB's in the middle of convoys with two or three Flowers as escorts... That's probably the easiest way to kill a capital ship but you have to be lucky to find one. Personally I like to hunt in grids AM and AL near the Rockall Bank, it's around there that most of the Liverpool bound convoys converge. Once in a while you'll see other stuff too, for example I just bagged a pair of unescorted Fiji light cruisers in AM29. Not exactly a battleship but still bigger than the usual stuff. The guys above pretty much summed it all up. Good luck!
On the topic of task forces I have a question too : almost every patrol I get contact reports of task forces transiting within British waters from Liverpool to Scapa. I never tried to get close but there seems to be a spot where the water looks deep-ish on the map and I've been thinking about sneaking in there to take a few swipes at them... Is it worth it? It's Feb 1943 in my campaign now so I might as well save that for the next one but still, I wonder...
