There are a fair amount of books with current areas, warships, etc. being displaced in time. Final Countdown was interesting but faded at the end. There are others.

So mine is the Battle of Samar where Taffy 3 (and more distantly other Taffy groups) of small escort carriers plus destroyers and DEs faced a large fleet of heavy Japanese Ships -The Japanese Center Force now consisted of the battleships Yamato, Nagato, Kongō, and Haruna; heavy cruisers Chōkai, Haguro, Kumano, Suzuya, Chikuma, Tone; light cruisers Yahagi, and Noshiro; and 11 Kagerō-, Yūgumo- and Shimakaze-class destroyers.

So the time gods replace the US destroyers and DEs with 8 current Burkes. The missile load of the ships can vary but from some sources, let's say they have 50 Tomahawks that can attack ships and the rest are SM-3s, that also can attack ships. There are 8 Harpoons on each. One 5 inch gun. Not clear whether the helicopters and antisub torpedos will be useful.

We know that the Japanese turned around in the original. Would the Burkes be more decisive against Kurita. Assume the CVE fleet doesn't flip over the switch but cooperates.
