Miyuki and Inazuma is an accident. Which both fears still fearing each other. Same as Hatsukaze and Myoukou; Hatsukaze respects Myoukou-nee, but still very much fears her.

Maikaze and Akagi/Hagikaze and Kaga's scuttling '''is more of a forced-to situation--- they had to scuttle them. You could also think of this as putting them out of their misery.'''

IJN and USN will be iffy, because USN had full intentions to sink IJN ships.

So yeah 2 different situations. I'm not okay with them. That reminds me, in Japanese ACGN culture it is common, if not stereotypical, for scriptwriters to use the following way to explain how former enemies become allies.

"The era made us enemies, not by our will, and now, it is once again making us allies." ("...not by our will as well", can be added if you want to add some tsundere-ness)

May not persuade everyone, but it always works. They were forced to be enemies, but they didn't really want to. Something like that.
