Your quest has weighed on my mind.

I checked to be sure, and there were on the order of 300 US Navy ships involved in the several units fighting the battle. Knowing your father’s ship will allow your to find which of the various naval task groups he participated. Knowing the task group, you can get much closer to finding out how he participated.

Here is the Wikipedia article listing the various naval task groups participating in the battle.

Your quest is a very worthwhile endeavor
