In World War II, "Yūkaze" served as an escort for the old aircraft carrier "Hōshō". After the Battle of Midway, "Hōshō" was used to train naval aviators, remaining in the Inland Sea.
After the war "Yūkaze" was used as a repatriation ship. On 14 August 1947, she was turned over to Great Britain; she was scrapped at Singapore.
