>At 2342 a message came in from Yudachi: "Enemy sighted."
>"What is the range and bearing?" Abe roared. "And where is Yudachi?"
>Abe had hardly finished his outburst when Hiei's masthead lookout frantically shouted, "Four black objects ahead... look like warships. Five degrees to starboard. Eight thousand meters... unsure yet. Visibility bad."
>Abe covered his face. "Yudachi was 10,000 meters ahead on our starboard bow. Ask him distance." [...]

>On Nov 12 my Yudachi with Harusame was searching for the three other ships with which we originally formed the vanguard arc. In our hunting we never guessed that the earlier mixup in the two 180-degree turns had brought the other three to the rear instead of the van.
>I was flabbergasted to see an enemy destroyer suddenly emerging from the darkness, and bearing down to strike us amidship. Anyway, I was not ready to fire. We frantically turned away, radioing the discovery to Hiei, but we could not give positions because we did not know where we werer relative to our own forces.
>We ran for a few minutes and I saw gunfire. I was covered with confusion and shame. I ordered Yudachi about too head back to the American column. By that time every man in my ship was boiling mad - at our failure to hit the enemy.
>From then on, Yudachi fought valiantly until she sank. Harusame, however, went on to join Nagara. Apparently she lost track of us in the darkness. Yudachi was running on overboost at 35 knots.

Who Yudachi in here? I just got her to the first remodel.
