Yuudachi's engine was knocked out, her boiler room flooded and she was dead in the water, with fire spreading. At that point her captain (Kiyoshi Kikkawa) ordered rising the sails to help with the crew's moral (we can still go on!). in other words, the ship was knocked out at the time the sails went up.
