There's a story I don't know if it's true or not, some of our weeaboo friends went to one of the ship tours in the United States and ended up bringing pictures of different ships from Azur Lane And them appreciating the renditions. They went through a lot on these ships and there's already a sailors tradition of referring to a ship as a woman. So it wasn't really a stretch to get them to grasp the idea and enjoy the concept. I think one of the veterans from The Iowa stated that he thought the Kantai Collection interpretation of his ship was very flattering and he liked it.

I feel like they did Warspite and Queen Elizabeth dirty with their portayal. I mean, other faction leaders, most of them, are at least adults or look like one. Now, there's Nagato. BUT. In game dialogue did seem to confirm Yamato exists, who'd be the lead ship of her class with her sisters Musashi and Shinano, who look very much adults. Edit: In game dialogue said by Nagato also hints at her having passed leadership to Yamato.
