No idea. The real life ship had a long service history but the crew's performance was pretty poor in numerous areas to the point where allegedly she was seen as a bad omen to the other ships in a given fleet. This ship was present when Kongou was sunk by a single submarine (her crew botched up the ASW immediately), when Hiei was mistakenly scuttled due to the misinterpretation of an order, and also for the loss of not-even-commissioned Shinano as well. Yukikaze never sunk anything outside of three scuttlings, to the best of my knowledge, so her elevated firepower baffles me as well -- at least in a morbid way you can account for the torpedo stat in addition to the more obvious Evasion and Luck.
