Well... these 2 battles made no use of carriers :) At Leyte Gulf Japan had next to no planes and most of the encounters there were surface battles, while carriers served as a decoy and barely had any planes. Wasn't Sho-Ichi-Go basically Japanese defence plan for that region? Unless you mean Battle of the Philippine Sea (where Taihou and Shoukaku sank) and Battle of Leyte Gulf, but the former would only make for one map, Leyte Gulf on the other hand was enormous consisting of a few battles and a very complex Japanese battle plan.
