"Did I see a rumor at some point that we may anticipate friendly surface units / subs to contend with/cooperate with?"

Not "friendly" in the game sense, rather neutral (don't shoot vessels.)

Stated in the first post on thread You are reading:
New Playable Submarines
Two highly requested submarines are being added for players to skipper:
- Seawolf
- 688i

Neutral Vessels and Oil Rigs
Neutral vessels will now be transiting the combat theatre and oil rigs may be present in some regions, making it crucial to correctly identify targets before unleashing weapons.

What might be confusing is there are a great many posts on the forums talking about "friendly" ships and using the word inconstantly. In other words "ships on your side" but I haven't found any posts by KF that "friendlies" in the game sense ("Allies") have been officially announced. Neutral ships are not aligned with anyone and the battle just happens to occur around civilian assets and shipping lanes. Some games like this will have "escort" missions. These are the kinds of missions were friendlies/allies should be added to the game. The opponent then could not shoot their own friendlies but you could shoot theirs.
