Note that in the cfg you posted about it has the correct date for Yamato was registered. She never left the inland sea until Midway, however. So that means there are about 6 months where she is appearing (has a chance to appear) in every single TF that asks for a Generic BB (which is all of them that ask for a BB).
It's not just Yamato, though, it's every single warship. There were not many of ANY BB Class. Or CVs total.
From her TROM:
YAMATO, the world’s mightiest battleship, remains at Truk as a “hotel” from 29 August 1942 until 8 May 1943.
So we know where to find her for over 8 months in the middle of the war. Anchored at Truk. 5 days after that she's back in Japan for 3 months.
