Nevermind that, Can anyone here link Abukuma's admiral to an operation involve Carriers? Be it actual or planned by IJN. If you're talking about Admiral Kimura only, then, I think, the closest is Battle of the Bismark Sea, which is nearby solomon islands, but not close enough.

He was mostly a captain before the Battle of Midway and after that he was a Rear Admiral doing transport escort duties to Leyte and Mindoro. When he commanded Abukuma and Desron1, they were way up north in Kiska.

He had almost no relationship with friendly CV/L, but he fully understood how dangerous it was to not have any air support after the Battle of the Bismark Sea.
