I think i figured out the mystery of Yuiyui's obscurity before the team 8 guam trip, and massive popularity and push after the guam trip after hearing about this story that happened while they were returning home

A massive storm unlike any the captain had ever seen comes out of nowhere and starts causing havoc with all the instruments of navigation. The girls are scared because the fog and rain and wind are so heavy that they can barely see anything even inside the captains cabin but he assures them all that as long as their radar is still functioning, they'll be fine. Just then, a lightning bolt strikes the top of the ship, zaps the captain unconscious and fries all the equipment

A wave of fear spreads out over all the eitos as the light flickers out and they're left, stranded at sea in a terrible storm and complete darkness. Then, amidst the crying and despair, a faint whistle is heard, the crying becomes softer "What was that sound?" they hear the whistle again, closer this time. They struggle to see in the darkness until they hear it once more this time right in front of them followed by Yuiyui's voice who says: "I know the way, I used to swim in these waters as a child against my mother's wishes. I'll swim out ahead and lead the way. One of you steer the ship and follow the sound of my whistle" after saying this, she took off all her clothes and dove into the pacific ocean

It was then that Okabe Rin took the wheel, and without a star in the sky and unable to see the tip of her nose, she steered the ship to the sound of Yuiyui's whistle
>Foooooeeeeeeet
She makes an adjustment
>Foooooeeeet
Again she adjusts course. All through the night listening for Yuiyui's whistle. After many hours, all of the eito's exhausted and scared, they hear the whistle again, this time louder and clearer than before. The ship passes through the fog, and they see Yuiyui sitting on a rock--they see the sun rising over the clouds, they see Japan!

The eitos shout in celebration, cries of "Kakkoi!"--for what Yuiyui had done--and--"Kawaii!"--for how cutely she was sitting on the rock, mingled together. ALL were in a state of happiness and jubilation--except Onishi who was a sourpuss the whole time and spent the entire trip below deck with the male staff-sans
