Starting from Pearl you miss a lot. Better to start from Manila first of war. RSRD is historical, as Werner says they basically invade the Philippines then go south. You'll find several invasion fleets hitting the Philippines first.
Most just go right to Lingayan Gulf and sit outside of it. You'll probably get a patrol star there or to one of the other invasion forces.
Next they hit Borneo and other areas. You'll be transferred to Surabaya at Java after Manila falls, but that's OK. Hang around Java late Feb to early March, just north of Semarang you may run into the large 50 ship Java invasion force.
Study the black and white maps at this link. One is for TF movements, the other invasion forces.
All of these are in RSRD, exact courses and dates. You can see the invasion forces hitting the Philippines, Borneo and Java.
