I found the Yamato and her sister ship coming down San Bernardino Straits during the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea.
Kurita's Center Force moving through the straits are ripe targets but they move fast. If you get the chance for foul weather and low moon light you can get a more evenly matched surface attack going.
I tool the IOWA through there alone once. I passed between the two sister ships and did not last long. Another attempt was more successful but I was never able to sink the Yamato. Her sister ship I set ablaze and she sank hours later.
In a submarine I have managed to sink two Cruisers in one battle and the Yamato in another.

To be honest; playing a battleship and going against merchant convoys, especially convoys with escorts should be a bit thrilling knowing that there's little the escorts can do to stop you. And with the Silent 3 Editor; you can make things a bit more interesting.
