- ↑ Shirakumo was escorting a troop convoy with Kasumi and Nichiren Maru when she sank. According to testimony from Kasumi's gunnery officer, Kasumi heard the survivors crying out the same "ooi!" used by Shirakumo but could not attempt a rescue due to continued submarine presence around the convoy. She later doubled back, but the survivors were gone.
