* Sunk near Borneo, 23 April 1944.
* Wreck located in October 2003 by Vidar Skoglie and MV ''Empress''. She lies on her starboard side in only 28 meters (98 feet) of water and was heavily collapsing / split open due to apparent illegal dynamite fishing near the wreck. One such fishing expedition apparently detonated the forward magazine, resulting in much of the forward part of the ship being heavily damaged. The bow itself was relatively intact and still sat upright. Live torpedoes and depth-charges were also scattered around the wreck, making any diving extremely hazardous.
* Sadly, Amagiri's wreck has since been illegally salvaged, with little if anything of the wreck remaining on the seabed.
