In the Stock game, they are "randomized", though at a very high rate. It is possible to sink the Yamato, and then encounter another in the next task force. RSRDC has "scheduled" ship appearances, based upon "historical" information, but I've never looked for the Yamato or Musashi, though they can probably be found anchored at Truk for a good portion of the middle of the war... The Fuso and Ise are a dime a dozen in the stock game... Just be on the look-out and keep your eyes and ears peeled...
