You realize the game isn't a recounting of WW2, right? It takes place some time after WW2. Similar events happen but it's more of a "history repeating itself" theme than a retelling. How else would all the girls remember their past lives as WW2 ships?

If anything the reason adding Iowa was "dumb" is that she's the first girl that wasn't sunk or scrapped in her former life. The Iowa still exists. Of course since it's an alternate timeline anyway that diverges from our own sometime after WW2's end, it's easy enough to say that in this timeline the USS Iowa was sunk sometime after the war, possibly durring the initual Abyssal invasion.
