Shigure was thought to be one of the lucky ships during the war, due to the fact that she and Yukikase participated in almost all of the bloodiest major naval battles for the IJN and managed to stay alive.(Even though Shigure ran out of luck just before the war ended.) There was a saying that goes by "Yukikase of Kure, Shigure of Sasebo", showing how hard they fought during the war and was regarded as the prize of thier respected docks.

Hibiki on the other hand never participated in those major conficts. She was usually in the docks recieving repairs and luckily survived the battle because she was never in them. (Thats why there's her qoute,"The secret of the Phoenix is the timing of its repairs. ") She didn't recieve a luck boost because there really wasn't much to brag about if she never joined in any of the battles.

Ise and Hyuugas 30 luck came from the evasive meneuvers they've showned under the command of Rear Admiral Matsuda Chiaki during the Battle of Lyte Gulf. (This is also why they have higher evasive points than the Kongou sisters.) Though obsolete and was considered a burden for the IJN, both of them survived throughout the war and was only sunk short before the surrender of Japan.

Nagato's 30 luck came not only because she survived WW2, she was also knowned as the flagship of the Combined Fleet 1st Fleet for most of the Japanese population. (A number of people in Japan never even knew the IJN changed thier flagship into Yamato, and a lot more didn't even knew Yamato existed until after the war.) She was regarded as the pride of the Imperial Navy throughout WW2, and somehow surviving the war and later bearing through the Able Test only made her even more indestructible in the hearts of the Japanese people.
