セイロン沖海戦
On 4–5 June, "Amagiri" participated in the Battle of Midway as part of the Aleutian Invasion force and was subsequently based at Amami-Ōshima for patrols of southern waters until mid-July. In July 1942, "Amagiri" sailed from Amami-Ōshima to Mako Guard District, Singapore, Sabang and Mergui for a projected second Indian Ocean raid. The operation was cancelled due to the Guadalcanal campaign, and "Amagiri" was ordered to Truk instead, arriving in late August.
