Considering that the likes of Ise and Littorio have a rather high luck stat after going Kai, the Iowas who have been in more sorties, been in multiple wars, survived multiple accidents, and was never been scrapped even today, should by logic, have higher luck in comparison to nearly all the other ships in game. Unless they change the criteria of what constitutes luck when it comes to Allies, it's pretty obvious that high luck is going to be common with USN, RN, and LR ships that never sank. Do define "more sorties". Support shelling and bombardments from comfort zones instead of head-on ship-vs-ship hardly qualifies as basis for high Yukikaze-level luck. Purely surviving the war alone also hardly serves as the basis for Yukikaze-level luck either as demonstrated in Hibiki/Verniy who survived mostly because she dodged a few bullets by being unfit to sail for vital engagements.

Now the example you're quoting, the Ise-class, survived Leyte Gulf under heavy enemy air superiority. Can the Iowa-class even boast about being in and surviving such a situation during WW2? But now we're derailing from the original topic, which is about whether US ships deserve Yukikaze-level luck
