Americans win. Air power would devastate the Yamatos just like in real life, though with only one carrier it would take a lot longer. If the Iowas actually closed to firing range, they'd be able to use their radar-directed fire and their superior speed to conduct maximum range hit-and-run attacks to minimize the chance of the Yamatos scoring hits in return.

If they actually went for a slugging match? Well that would be pretty stupid, because the shorter the range gets, the more of an advantage the Yamatos' huge guns become.
