I met at least 6 of them (sank 3) by the Western Approach (i.e. around grid AM52). Nice place, heavy traffic, many convoys (and task forces, but these are much harder, as are to fast) and over 1000 metres under your keel. And not very far away from any German base.

If you're looking for easy pickings
Moored capital ships (spoiler) Below are the dates and locations of moored capital ships, extracted from the game data files and listed in chronological order. Note that the dates only seem approximate.

Chase the task force reports that you periodically get. They usually travel so fast that you pretty much need to be right in their path or close to it when you get a report, but that's where I've sunk most every capital warship I've come across.

I've seen a few on Pennsylvania Ave. LOL
And one tied up the other day in Philly as we drove by... for real. USS New Jersey I believe, but not sure.

Aircraft Cariers can be found in Norfolk, but you have to be very careful as the harbour is really shallow and heavily defended.
