"Only very vaguely, though there's a lot of conjecture on this subject.  For instance, the US did not use Torpedo Cruisers, yet the Abyssals fleet makes reasonably heavy use of the Chi-class.  The Oni and Himes are much more clearly related to historical Allied ships and installations, but even then there's substantial debate.

I personally say 'The Abyssals are based on Allied ships only so far as they have to be to be fought by IJN ships.'

Near as I can tell, KanColle takes place in the present day, whith the shipgirls being reincarnations of the IJN and the Abyssal fleet being some mysterious alien force, not Team America."

"i personally think it is more like arpeggio plot where every nation with ocean border have to deal with the mysterious abyssal by deploying their own ship girls, and we just happen to be in Japan's side"

It's probably not worth getting worked up about PC-ness and unfortunate implications over a silly little browser game (especially since the developers seem to be easing away from the "Abyssals=Allies" trend by having newer bosses be corrupted shipgirls)...but i t would be nice if we could actually SEE some Allied shipgirls in official Kancolle works. Just saying. :p
