關門海峽
On 26 May one of "Sakawa"s propellers struck a rock in the Kanmon Straits between Kyushu and Honshu, but only had its tips partly bent. The ship was later transferred to the Maizuru Naval District and arrived there on 19 July. She was attacked by aircraft from the aircraft carrier six days later, but was not damaged. When Japan surrendered on 2 September, "Sakawa" was docked at Maizuru.
