Shinano, IRL, had the same armor as a Yamato-class battleship, and it was the biggest carrier in the world until the Forrestal-class super carriers were built. So I doubt you could "sink it with ease." Plus, HOW THE F¥©% DO YOU SNEAK AROUND IN THREE BATTLESHIPS???

The Yamatos and Shinano, relatively unaffected by the close range 16inch shell fire (Yamatos had 16inch belt), quickly aim at the US battleships, causing massive damage with their 46cm guns to the 12.2inch US belts (yes, I know they are inclined for better protection, but they are still less protected than the Yamatos, plus, the Yamatos are just so damn HUGE, it will take dozens of shells to even get them to list). The Shinano takes cancer behind an island, and begins launching planes to attack the US ships.
