For all we know, the rest of Sun's team could have some purpose to carry out when RNJR finally gets to Haven... eventually. RNJR will be strangers on that campus.

As far as the captain and his cannons... the captain and the first mate said they had never seen a Grimm that big before, so their cannons probably work better against weaker, more common Grimm than the Sea Dragon. Sun cited that Sea Dragon as evidence that the Grimm are getting stronger and more dangerous than they used to be.

Funny enough, on the Neptune development front, they actually wanted to give him development in volume 3, but time constraints led to them cutting Sun and Neptune's doubles round fight. In volume 2, they brought up that Neptune tries really hard to seem like a cool guy and will go out of his way to avoid a situation in which he could get embarrassed. For Sun and Neptune's doubles round fight, they had planned to have Neptune decide it'd be better for him to help Sun despite embarrassing himself with wearing swim floaties in front of millions of people than to stand back and let his friend down just because he doesn't want to embarrass himself. There was even going to be a Sailor Moon esque transformation scene showing the floaties inflating, for comedy purposes. Which is why I think that it really would've been better if they had just had Team RWBY fight NDGO, dropped SSSN's team fight, found another way to get in Scarlet and Sage's single lines, and had Sun and Neptune's doubles round.

I'm not sure if one of the show's themes really is supposed to be teamwork, but I do recall them saying one of the themes Monty wanted RWBY to have is "Meeting new people", which is why the cast is so bloated.

To be honest, their 6-8 month journey began in Patch, which means they


 * Took a ferry or airship from Patch to the City of Vale (or maybe near the capital city, since the capital city was overrun with Grimm)


 * Traveled from one coast to the other of Sanus (Unsure how much of that was walked and how much was airship or train or hitching a ride in someone's car or whatever)


 * Somehow got from that east coast of Sanus over to the west coast of Anima (ship? airship?)


 * And we tuned in after they've been walking from that coast for a while
