I think another battleship should be added just like in AvA Japan map

We have never had a battleship in AH.  What we have now is the same thing we've had since the time ships were added.

Buffs shouldn't be able to get anywhere near a CV group in the first place.

So anyways, what do you guys think about adding another ship?

I'd be all for a battleship battlegroup, i.e. BB and some DD's. No LVT launching capability, just a menace to pork fields, hunt CV groups and cause general mayhem. Plus, one more interesting target to hunt down :)

I'd love to see a Yamato BB group.

Or a King George V BB group.  The US has a task force in game, give the Japanese or British a task group.

Sure, the Iowa would be the most survivable, but that isn't the only consideration.  Both the late Yamato and the King George V put out decent AA fire themselves.
