In the game I've come across two juicy task forces in a single career. One was in 1942 just outside of Surabaya and contained a Yamato, a Fuso, and an Ise-class along with 4 or 5 cruisers and 4 or 5 destroyers. The other was a Taiho-centered task force and that was near Manila in late '43 or early '44. Think there was a Hiryu-class or two in there also.

I don't know about other players, but this is one area where I think the game does pretty well. It's good to run into occasional opportunities to sink a "pride-of-the-fleet" target, but it's also good that it doesn't happen on every patrol. It's an appropriately rare thing in the game - or has been for me. This is also true of other things like landing forces or troop ships. This career I haven't seen one single troop ship - last career I ran into 2 or 3.
