Nah, she's only used as a punching back for 3-2-A, since all the enemies there are forced to shoot at her (via ASW targeting priority) while your other ships are left unmolested. Unless you let the enemy survive to Closing Torpedo, that is.

And, with Overkill Protection in place, your 1/7 Maru Yu cannot sink unless you advance to the next node while she is in Heavy Damage.

Very useful for powerleveling. Just remember to go home right away and fix her up afterwards.
