Unless you're Tashkent in which you somehow have super high luck despite being sunk in 1942 lol. [My previous comment, yep] There is 1 GOOD REASON as for why, for example,  JOHNSTON, during her 1st charge, torpedo attack, she never got hit during this action, she only got hit by Kongou and Yamato only after she hit Kumano's bow off. In such cases, you she should been hit several times when closing in, but she didnt. evading shells are IRL is very RNG(in a sense), thus its reasonable to justify her high luck, same for SAMMY B, for her 3 salvo torpedo spread(unlike fletcher 10 torp), to be able to hit a target Choukai, is already considered very lucky. during Battle of Samar, both of them are the only escort-screening-ships with torpedos to able to hit their targets.

Adding White Plains Lucky DETONATION on Choukai with only 1 5 inch gun or her torpedo mount, thats one hell of a luck. and the same time, Gambier Bay and Saint Lo should have ;low luck, but seeing Gambier having ordinary luck of 12 and 15 in Kai kind of, wrong to me. or is possibly the debate which Johnston or Gambier Bay's TBM on Kumano torpedo hit. I get what you're trying to say but it's still not good enough reason. You're kinda repeating yourself there.

If what you're saying is to be valid, then why doesn't Bismarck get bonus luck for one-shot of HMS Hood, why doesn't Ark Royal get bonus luck for crippling Bismarck on last second. Shigure gets bonus luck for her career, not for cmndr. Hara's longest range Destroyer-based torpedo kill. Musashi doesn't get bonus luck for being heroic bullet-sponge (thus saving Yamato).

Long story short: For one to get high luck, they must have "lucky career", "lucky moment" doesn't count that much. And if you browse through Ship List, you will notice this pattern.

I get you're really hyped for new USN DD and want her to be best possible, but let's not stretch it too far, shall we? :)
