He took command on 28 April 1945. Early on 19 May, in the Tsushima Strait, Kashima rammed and sank the cargo ship Daishin Maru and put in to Chinhae with slight damage. In June her squadron hunted the American submarines that had entered the Sea of Japan and found none. She survived the war, and in September she was being fitted out as a repatriation transport when he was relieved on 27 September 1945.
