Only very vaguely, though there's a lot of conjecture on this subject. For instance, the US did not use Torpedo Cruisers, yet the Abyssals fleet makes reasonably heavy use of the Chi-class. The Oni and Himes are much more clearly related to historical Allied ships and installations, but even then there's substantial debate.

I personally say 'The Abyssals are based on Allied ships only so far as they have to be to be fought by IJN ships.'

Near as I can tell, KanColle takes place in the present day, whith the shipgirls being reincarnations of the IJN and the Abyssal fleet being some mysterious alien force, not Team America.
