Urakaze (浦風, "Wind on the Sea") was a Kagero-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy. On 9 June 1944, she rescued 126 survivors from Tanikaze (including her commander Lieutenant Commander Ikeda) which was sunk by USS Harder (SS-257), near Tawitawi. During the Battle of Philippine Sea, she assisted survivors of the aircraft carrier Shōkaku, which was sunk by USS Cavalla (SS-244), and slightly damaged the attacking submarine with depth charges.
On 21 November 1944, Urakaze was torpedoed and sunk with all hands by USS Sealion (SS-315),[1] 65 miles (120 km) north-northwest of Keelung, Formosa (26°09′N 121°23′E / 26.15°N 121.383°E). The torpedo that sank her was one out of three that sank her and the battleship Kongō. All survivors from Tanikaze also went down with the ship.
