Except most of the continental United States is nowhere near the ocean. The Abyssals would mostly just be a nuisance for coastal cities unless they decide to go up the rivers (which would still leave their killzone very limited). The American government could escape the Abyssal threat by...moving to Kansas.

The rest of the American shipgirls are probably busy keeping the Panama Canal and those two giant coastlines secure. Iowa is probably being permitted to stay with the Japanese force because (a) Japan and the USA are allies (assuming that KanColle is set in "modern" times), and (b) it would be too difficult to have her cross the Abyssal-infested Pacific.

Of course, the brutally realistic explanation is that KanColle has no official story at all and any foreign kanmusu can be explained with "because the devs said so." Well we have land-type Abyssals, land-based Abyssal planes, and from the levels we already have the Abyssals' ship girls actually have to be anchored at a bay or something when they take a rest.

It would be no surpirse if we have a Abyssal Marine Corps or something...

since we were able to bring Iowa back so easily (as in no additional level of "escorting Iowa back to Japan"), the Western Pacifc seems to be safe, so if Iowa can't cross the Pacific all the way back to the US, something must went terribly wrong in the Eastern Pacific, between Hawaii and US west coast.
