There aren't any American ships because the game is primarily about Japanese ships. Even the Kriegsmarine, despite being allied with the IJN, was only added because they ran out of IJN battleships. Not to mention that culturally they still have a lot of German influences from the period (hence why Japanese actually has several words of German origin, and why German is probably the language after English most likely to be butchered simply because it sounds cool), so they still consider Germany and the Kriegsmarine to be basically heroes rather than invaders and oppressors.

With these agruments in mind, what good reason would they have for adding USN ships beyond appeasing American's pride? The reason why there are no allied ships in the game is basically the same reason why many western WWII-themed games don't let the players play as the Axis powers.
