the abyssals had never been USN to begin with. they have Torpedo Cruisers. USN did not. they just happen to use the same gun calibers and planes.

imo, the abyssals are a combination of sunk ship's negative emotions. they have classes that a particular Navy back then does not (Torpedo cruisers are exclusive to IJN), they have equipments that they shouldn't have for being USN (powerful German radars and seaplanes, IJN's trademark long lance torpedos). Back during WW2, USN's torpedos are very well known to be horrible (prone to swim in the wrong direction, not exploding when they hit their target, or even turning back at the launcher.

using the above reasons, anyone expecting 100% historical accuracy is kinda... i dunno... "foolish"? english isn't my first language and i'm not sure what word to use in this situation.
