Default HMAS Melbourne vs. USS Constellation in RIMPAC 1980

Nobuyoshi Koremoto, an ex-skipper of JDS Amatsukaze that participated
in RIMPAC 1980, wrote in the August 2010 issue of the Ship of the
World that in the 1980 exercise a flight of Australian A-4G Skyhawks
from HMAS Melbourne playing an 'Orange' force carrier attacked USS
Constellation, which was assessed to be 'heavily damaged'. Does
anybody know more about this or similar carrier vs. carrier exercises
played between a light carrier and a big US carrier?
