lol "vital Japanese portion"? these girls are foreign ships, if anything the Japanese is secondary; not to mention, if the Japanese suffers, it only serves to improve the girl being foreign.

If you get off on the American girl being completely inept at English, that's your perogative. We can accept a "worst of both worlds" trope, like Kongo, but her's makes sense - Iowa is built and trained American, who we rescued from Hawaii.

As for the argument that "proper pronunciation doesn't facilitate a character game", when we say proper pronunciation, it's not textbook, flat pronunciation, but any acceptable, recognizable understandable and consistant pronunciation. A pronunciation that sounds like the girl knows what she's saying. Warspite is a perfect example - she speaks with an Australian accent, and yet we're all praising it (with minor, forgivable errors); it's not British RP, but it's still proper English
