And that's if the USN ships don't have a much lower torp stat than their IJN counterparts since American torps were much worse than Japanese torps.

USN torpedos were just as good as other Western torpedos after they got fixed, examplified in the multiple victories in night time engagments against the IJN during 1943 and 1944. So the US DDs would probably be average like those of the Italians and Germans, unless the historic number of torpedo tubes also effect the stat too, which could boost them a bit.
