For #2, I think we had better not take those exaggerations too seriously. If that was literally true, they would have started shooting at each other and that did not happen. It might be also noted that the early war operations also had army navy cooperation and those went quite well too.

Guadalcanal is another example. The Army was willing to send troops to try to retake a base (Henderson) it didn't think was such a swell idea, and the Navy was willing to lose a substantial amount of ships trying to support them. Cooperation is clearly not sky high, but let's not pretend their animosity was close to that they bear towards their enemies.

Why would Verniy not be fine with German girls? She's became a Russian ship, but she started out Japanese and soon the Germans became an "ally" (some would say puppet state) of the Russians.

For your #3, people that are at least OK with the idea of US ships may well be the majority but here you have to look at the minority and how vocal they'll be. Commerce is not a tyranny of the majority system. Rather, it places great weight on not offending vocal minorities.
