Do Americans just have a overblown view of themselves? You might as well ask why for example all the Sailor Senshi are Japanese (if we follow their timeline, in essence Japanese are ruling the world in the 30th century). Sometimes, it is a Japanese show is sufficient excuse. Kadokawa may say it doesn't mind foreign admirals, and I believe them, but it could change if we get too noisy.

As an aside, before we give American ships an unqualified "ethical edge", do consider what we have to do with their submarines, which have Commerce Warfare (in essence, sinking unarmed civilians with the goal of starving more civilians) as their root concept. It is a bit funny to say "killing POWs = bad, killing civvies = good". It is also not like Americans NEVER strafed Japanese in the water (Battle of Bismarck Sea).
