@Vyrena: Pretty sure your comment doesn't have anything to do with the OP's, because the OP's Yukikaze simply cut-in on the wrong enemy (in OP's case, a leftover DD instead of the boss), it's not that she didn't do enough damage lol.

Anyway, remember that all 'special attacks' (this includes double attacks and cut-ins, both day and night) must either do 'full damage', or 'scratch damage'. Doing 'scratch damage' is the 'special attack' equivalent of 'missing'; instead of completely missing and doing no damage, it does damage equal to 6-14% of the target ship's current HP; if this scratch damage is calculated to be less than 1 (e.g. if the target ship has about 10 hp), the attack will do 0 damage and shows up as a 'miss'. This 'scratch damage' is the same scratch damage mechanism that affects normal (non-special) attacks, when they 'hit' a ship without enough firepower to penetrate its armor. Look through the rest of this wiki if you're interested in the details.
