lol, what if the reason the Abyssals use US standards (like gun barrels in inches, which is soo many peoples reason to assign Abyssal = USN) is just because the US was the first to encounter the Abyssals (since they are much more likely to run into a strange fleet in the middle of the ocean), so they were named as such.

Then things took a slight turn for the worse (since the USN at current is spread thin across the world, with a new powerful enemy the would need to regroup a little) and Japan had to pick up slack on it's side of the Pacific, while the US retreated to theirs, but the naming convention in US units remained. The new Japanese kanmusu would of course use metric units not only for history sake, but also simply becuase Japan is a metric country.

The Atlantic is not only smaller, but has both the RN and USN able to protect it, hence Italy and Germany being able to send a few (capital ships even) to help us.

I still think we're getting USN girls somewhere down the line, and any tension between our girls and theirs will be comic at worst.
