@FirstDagr: You're right, I'd completely forgotten that Prinz Eugen was part of the Operation Crossroads target array. So I guess there's an argument for her at least.

Personally I'd always assumed that the setting was something along the lines of the Abyssal fleet appearing from nowhere and basically shutting down the oceans and cutting all the nations off from each other, so that the reason we haven't seen any USN shipgirls is simply because they're all busy fighting the Abyssals separately. Alternatively if you go with the idea that the Abyssals are 'infected' shipgirls, perhaps the problem is that most of the other navies have been largely defeated already and either turned against us or sunk. There's lots of ways they can go with it without having to retcon anything.
