* Yuudachi's white sail was incorrectly seen as a flag of surrender, a fact that angered the Americans when she kept on fighting despite raising it. This sail can be seen in her K2 artwork, and reflects the significance. This eventually led to Yuudachi being sunk by USS Portland when she actually surrendered. The captain of the USS Portland was quoted to issue the order of "Sink the S.O.B" to which the gunnery officer obeyed, sinking the disabled (but evacuated) remnants of Yuudachi.

* Wreck located in Ironbottom Sound in October 1992 by Dr. Robert Ballard. She is in roughly 800 m (2,624 ft) of water, with the main wreck upright and the forecastle broken off and skewed to port. The entire ship aft of the aft torpedo mount is missing, apparently sheared off by the explosion of her aft magazine.

* On 8 July 2025, Yuudachi's wreck was re-located by Dr. Robert Ballard and surveyed extensively. She has massively deteriorated, with the bridge structure and forward turret having collapsed to port. The forward turret is now half-buried in the bottom mud and is severely corroded.

Yuudcahi's number one 12.7cm/50 Type 3 gun turret and its magazine hoist have collapsed and fallen to port, both barrels pointing out. The bridge's roof has also ripped off exposing equipment.
