I just dont have strong knowledge of this theatre at all so to be honest i dont have a leg to stand on. Im prob wrong though. I just remember thinking how odd it was that hellcats were straffing ships with MG's etc.

Your prob right.
Somewhere between part 1-5, it mentions FM2 Wildcats, at the Battle off Samar. That's where the Yamamoto, took on the Truck Carriers, and Destroyer Escorts, along with some other small ships. Kinda amazing actually.
