Counting each individual once and not multiple times for remodels/transfers, there are a total of 39 foreign kanmusu as of 4/14/2020.

Italy: 11
USA: 10
Germany: 6
UK: 5
France: 2
USSR: 2
Sweden: 1
Netherlands: 1
Australia: 1

My critiques of the art itself:

1. Verniy is technically Japanese in all but dress, so I don't really think she belongs here. Back to that thing about transfers.
2. I would have put SOME clothes on Pola. Like, at least a top. Are we to believe they let her pose topless?
3. .....It's a bear? Why?

Especially when there is the more convenient excuse of them literally ran out of any WW2 IJN ship bigger than a light cruiser outside of paper ships.

Except maybe not since AL has had paper ships for most factions for a long time. I think it's more like they wanted to ensure all the IJN nerds are catered to first. Even for the DEs there may be potential players who literally have the wreck of said ship in their backyard.

Do you even think they listened? Up to this day, I have legit seen Azur Lane players and such in Azur Lane anime threads still believing the entire "Its a right-wing propaganda, they only put foreign ships in the game now because of the accusations" narrative.

I think the reason could be something like 'no English' and 'too heavily RNG dependant'

Remember AL has English version and you can actually control your ships ('though auto option existed as well)

But it's just my assumption, I could be wrong

which is wrong too, obviously, since there was a September 2013 interview where Tanaka said he wanted to add non-Japanese ships

I: Will we ships from many different countries?

T: Germany, United States, Britain… We’re thinking about releasing shipgirls from many different countries. We have the kind of “Oh! It’s this guy!” artist booked already. Please look forward to it!

It started with Bismarck

Almost seven years later, here we are with ~40 foreign kanmusu

Z1 and Z3 too, with Z1 being the first you could actually acquire in game.
