Battle of the Philippine Sea

Hi there, since I still don't use RSRD (will as soon as this career is done), I was wondering if I can find the Japanese Fleet going for the Battle of the Philippine Sea (Marianas Turkey Shoot).

Strangely enough, I thought I still had enough time to return to port and come back in a new patrol, but when I entered port I got the history tour that the battle had just occurred. On the SIXTH OF JUNE!!!

Being the coward that I am, I reloaded a previous save game, refit at that little sub tender NE of Rabaul and then went ahead to the rough area, where I arrived now around the 1st of June. Until the 7th I now need to rescue airmen SE of Guam, but that should be long enough to return to my post.

My question: where should I look? I got the coordinates of the sunk Japanese carriers and will just patrol W of the first two (Taiho and Shokaku). Does enybody have the route the Japanese fleet came on?

Thanks as always

P.S.: I have to admit that I am would also be interested to know where exactly to find Yamato/Musashi, if anyone knows. I guess they would be in C fleet 100 E of A and B, right? Does the standard game even differentiate so much?
