^ The "Axis Powers" moniker actually predated WW2 and was originally used by the Brits to designate the alliance between Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union. Japan was not considered a member originally. This grouping broke up when Hitler launched Barbarossa and the betrayed USSR realigned against the Axis.

Anyway, we already know that the various Abyssal Fleet ships are based on WW2 Allied ships, particularly those of the US. However, Kadokawa did promise that they'll bring German ships in as kanmusu and maybe British ones later. Given the rate at which ships are being introduced into the game, I don't think we'll see the entire foreign fleets make it. Most likely only the famous ones (Bismarck and Scharnhorst classes, and possibly Prince of Wales and Hood) will ever make it into the game. It would be hard to justify US ships given who the Abyssal girls really are, so I doubt we'll ever see them.

Alternatively, they can get smart and make Abyssal girls playable, probably as "purified" versions. I sure wouldn't mind having Wowo and Tata in my fleet!
