As for how often she will appear:

I am still waiting to seee Mutsu equip her actual equipment, despite her having been on one of the promo posters. :P - Same goes for Murasame having any roll at all other than backgground character.
As others mentioned, the US faster battleships were used as carrier escorts instead. Of the Japanese battleships, really only the Kongou class was fast enough for that.

1 thing that's not been mentioned yet is the american sub fleet, which wreaked all kinds of havoc on the the Japanese navy during WWII.
Wiki list 38 destroyers, 14 cruisers, the Kongou and quite a few carriers including the Shinano, a Yamato hull converted to a carrier:
