I’m guessing this episode drawing from old war films, in particular I am getting flavours of submarine hunts, chasing after wakes, and handling big questions of WMDs, the sanity of the chain of command.

Maybe it's just because the writers of the (alleged) next Trek film have been talking about it, but I did think of "Crimson Tide" several times during this one.

A’Sha leaving is fine, I guess, she didn’t feel very present throughout the season anyway.

I can't help but think there's still more to come with her - they haven't dropped her off yet, after all. Something about it seems unfinished, somehow.

Maybe she was an undercover romulan, sent to report if enterprise go too close to finding the cloaked ship, and now that Reeger is likely no longer a threat, and enterprise probably isn't going to want to follow up, her job's done so she's off.
