Excerpt from "The legend of Yukikaze" by Morgane of the Mists: July '43. Battle of Kolombangara. Yukikaze, thanks to her new radars, was the first to spot the USN fleet in the engagement. In this unfortunate battle, the flagship of the IJN task force, Jintsuu, was lost. While it is true that Jintsuu drew enemy fire through the liberal usage of her searchlights, the fatal blow came from a torpedo hit in her engine room.

That torpedo, insofar as after-action reports were capable of piecing things together, was aimed at Yukikaze. However, due to a stroke of fortune, it went under Yukikaze's hull because it was set too deeply. Yukikaze was unharmed in this battle, and after picking up fallen personnel from the Jintsuu, she successfully landed 1200 troops afterwards.

So yeah, trying to aim for the luckiest ship in IJN ended up with an accidental aiming for the flagship instead.
