See the below combat report for 1 January 1942; I had a large cruiser and destroyer task force going after reported shipping near Koepang...but I had no idea they would engage this many ships!
Just have a look at how often TF 8 reacted to and engaged Allied task forces!
There were more than 500 shell hits and over 60 torpedo hits during the night phase - I did lose two destroyers through collision, though.
