In 1942 "Sawakaze" performed patrol and convoy escort duties in the southwest Pacific. On 23 January 1943, escorting seaplane tender "Akitsushima" from Kavieng, New Ireland, "Hakaze" was torpedoed and sunk by USS "Guardfish" (SS-217) 15 miles southwest of Kavieng (coord|02|47|S|150|38|E |region:PG-NIK |display=title,inline).
