In World War II, "Shiokaze" performed escort duties from the Andaman Islands of the Indian Ocean to the Aleutian Islands of the North Pacific.
Damaged by air attack in January 1945, "Shiokaze" spent the final months of the war in Kure undergoing repairs. She was one of the few Japanese destroyers to survive the war.
