I'm open to it, though I think it'll be a long while before we'll see any Allied ships actually implemented. As to the question of the possibility of them being implented in the first place, with Kancolle seemingly IJN/Axis-centric and all...? Well, the game might've started pretty anti-Allied at first but we've been seeing less and less of enemies being straight up based on Allied ships and more on sunken IJN ships instead recently. My own theory is that the Abyssals represent any and all warships sunk in the past, Allied or Axis. They might use Imperial units to measure gun calbers and Allied-inspired equips in general (Mk. series torpedoes, Hellcats n' Helldivers), but come on, Nagano is obviously Nakano+Agano, Warusame is Harusame (lol probably the most obvious one out there), and Midway Hime is an Abyssal Akagi. That's not to say we'll never see an Abyssal based on an Allied vessel ever again, but let's take into consideration the enemies and bosses we've been fighting the past few events... yep, it'd seem like quite a bit of sunken IJN vessels are back to get revenge on our living Kanmusu, eh?

Story beats aside (I could go more into detail with 'em if you'd like), the reality is that Kadokawa is probably backing off on the Abyssals = Allies concept for whatever various reasons.
