I've once tracked Ozawas carrier force for 70 hours during the Leyte battle, sank 2 carriers out of 4+2 converted Ise's. Also saw loads of planes going back and forth above me, but the either didn't see me or didn't bother - but I wouldn't have attacked them.
I also tracked the Yamato during her suicidal trip to Okinawa, hitting her with 6 torpedoes, but she steamed away.
Never saw any surface action though.
