 * Furthermore, she has the potential to outgun most Heavy Cruisers. Her artist tweeted that the "flaps" on her hair was to reflect her "ferocious hound (狂犬)"-like history during her final battle. Compare with Shigure. Yuudachi also acquires a sail with a white flag attached to it.

Personality

 * Sunk 13 November 1942 off Savo Island (09°14′S 159°52′E).
 * The wreck was discovered in 1992 by Dr. Robert Ballard.
 * Claimed assisted kills on USS Gregory and USS Little.
 * Fourth of ten Shiratsuyu class destroyers.
 * Yuudachi was in fact sank by enemy forces (USS Portland) despite failed attempts to scuttle her.

Appearances in derivative works

 * Yuudachi appears in the anime adaption of Kantai Collection as a part of Torpedo Squad 3, alongside the Sendai sisters and Mutsuki. She helps welcome Fubuki to shared quarters with Mutsuki.
 * As of episode 9 of the animated series (Second Remodel, Poi!) Yuudachi received a Remodel explaining a little about its process.

Trivia

 * Her name means "sudden evening shower".
 * Occasionally, she will end her sentences with "Poi".
 * Received her Kai Ni on October 16, 2013
 * Yuudachi's white sail was incorrectly seen as a flag of surrender, a fact that angered the Americans when she kept on fighting despite raising it. This sail can be seen in her K2 artwork, and reflects the significance. This eventually led to Yuudachi being sunk by USS Portland when she actually surrendered. The captain of the USS Portland was quoted to issue the order of "Sink the S.O.B" to which the gunnery officer obeyed, sinking the disabled (but evacuated) remnants of Yuudachi.
