Yes, considering all the previous hints given, it is quite possible this is Leyte Gulf.

Which means Iowa returning won't be a pipe dream anymore (unless you are a total newbie, can't farm the map she is in, or do farm but outright fail cause RNG laughs at you)

Then there is the possibility of new USN Ship(s) being implemented (but probably not this Fall Event though. More plausible for Winter 2018).
