And that counts as active since she gets one battle star. Utah, Arizona and Oklahoma lasted less than half an hour into the war, but they were part of it.

As for recent episodes, Yuudachi's upgrade includes a small white saile on her back. This references something really bad that happened involving her getting sunk. The Japanese version of events has it that the crew put up some form of sail to boost morale during her last battle.

The Americans on USS Portland, thought it was a white flag of surrender and started to ignore Yuudachi is accordance with the standard conventions of war. Then Yuudachi started firing again (or more torpedoes). That pissed off the Americans. They sank Yuudachi ("That S.O.B." according to her captain) and for about a year afterwards started to give "no quarter" to the Japanese. No surrenders taken, just kill them...("honorless bastards" I think would be the phase after that). Yuudachi did a bad thing that got a lot of Japanese killed over having that sail out that night.
