That could be years from now, but this Allied gun marks a small first step toward that direction. As for a completely US-centric Kancolle, well, I think the closest thing we'll get is jeanex's Pacifc.

 The powercreep factor will rise, but as long as the devs keep doing what they've been doing, it won't increase nearly  as much some seem to be fearing. The Iowa gun is statistically impressive - it's likely its owner will be, too. But following the other foreigners' precedents, we'll only get them in limited numbers. Think the 38 and 381 Kais, SKCs, another limited, but go-to piece of foreign equipment. Or they could just dick us over with Shinden Kai-like rarity.

I can envision a future for KanColle where the Iowas and Yorktowns are LSC-craftable, among other capital ships and cruisers that are too many to say here.

And the possibility of Fletcher-class and Kagerou/Yuugumo/Akizuki-class DDs being LSC-only...

Still, it's one way to keep the international players hooked. IMO the Shinden Kai's probably just in limbo until the devs give the call to bring the Raidens and Gekkous now that the Shoukaku-class K2As are present.

On a lighter note, November's probably the only "decent" artist out there with a USN buffet line. I'm not sure if there are anyone else (JiJi, for instance, made fanart of the existing line before he was asked by Kadokawa to do the Italian line)...
