FYI, Fujita Saki (seiyuu of Yukikaze and Akagi) has not played MC in any anime for many years. For that matter, Akagi is the first main cast character she's played in two years. One known reason for this is because she has one of the highest incomes in the industry (although nowhere near being highest-paid) thanks to being the voice of Hatsune Miku. Basically, all she needs to do in life is sit back and wait for the Crypton royalties to come in. This has led her to being not-exactly-lazy but definitely happy-go-lucky in accepting casting calls.

I do hope we'll see Yukikaze eventually. I almost couldn't believe it when she didn't show up on the cast list. Having a Yukikaze around has been a requirement for practically all Japanese works of fiction invoking the spirit of IJN. For example Kodai's big brother in Space Battleship Yamato literally commanded Space DD Yukikaze. Even Arpeggio broke their "no mental model for CLs and DDs" rule specifically for her. Yet kancolle anime has no Yukikaze? How come? Weird...
