As others have mentioned, Yuubari has a much higher torpedo stat than Ooyodo while maintaining the 4-equipment slot advantage. Her high ASW can still account for some extra damage vs subs (since the raw ASW stat is divided by 5 for calculations, but still can provide extra damage when it's high enough). Yuubari's poor defenses can be partially negated by keeping her protected as the flagship.

Well, if you ever get duplicates, Yuubari also makes great modernization material (boost to all stats).
