Akizuki was one of the escorts to the aircraft carrier group at the Battle of the Phillipine Sea, where both Taihou and Shokaku were sunk. Akizuki and Shoukaku had performed AA drills together numerous times, and Akizuki acted as an escort multiple times.

Probably why she's so insistent on her ability to protect the fleet this time, given that she couldn't that time.
