Do you mean by that, that you have created 3 separate transport TFs each comprised of only merchantmen and you are sending them directly to a Japanese port which displays an enemy TF icon present, or to the ocean hex which displays an enemy TF icon?[:)]
If you keep sending single xAK TFs to enemy ports, the enemy combat TFs may never have sufficient OPS/ammo to leave port after combat. That's one way to keep your valuable combat TFs safe from naval intercepts.[;)]

Also a useful tactic offensively as chaff in major fleet engagements - IJN DD's seem to love expending Long Lances on freighters. Much more comforting fighting IJN ships knowing the big damage dealers have been expended.
I would consider it gamey at best.
Even though this is pretty much no rules game, I won't be sending lone xaks to their death to abuse the op point mechanic.
