Queen Elizabeth teleported right into harms way

Having a test slugout with AI on grand campain in Beta 1.7.11.23x4, playing as Japan on Hard level.
I stationed a carrier group 1 hex from Pago-Pago for a week, kicking some transports in the process. Seas are desolate around the place, and AI is aware I'm there. Then suddenly Queen Elizabeth teleports right into Pago-Pago from her repairs in Sydney with puny escort and 1000 supply cargo, and gets some bombs the next turn. I loaded prev turn for Allies side to check, and yes she's disbanded in Sydney with 10 sys damage. No air cover in Pago-Pago at all.
I'm perfectly ok with SAGs teleporting around the place, AI should get all the help it can. But valuable non-combat ships should not run that kind a gauntlet when lots of other disposable ships are available
