Battleship Task Forces Available Throughout the Campaign?

It's now August, 1944 and I've yet to run into a task force with BB's. I've encountered three Bogue Escort Carriers and received Task Force radio reports early in my career but those are always 600 km away at least. The Type XXI is really something once you get used to it's abilities. I can attack a convoy on the move using the convoy ships to hinder the escorts trying to depth charge me. It would be great to find a battleship task force and see what would happen.

Also, just before the XXI became available, I was on patrol and received a radio report of a friendly Task Force at sea. The report gave latitude and longitude for its location but I didn't see any icons on the map like you usually do. I wonder if this was the XXI on sea trials.
