+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (綾波, [[Abbreviations#.28JP.29_Naval|namesake]]: Twilled Waves) was the 11th of the 24 Fubuki-class destroyers, which were considered the world's first modern destroyers. She was the first destroyer in the world to have a dual-purpose main battery that could elevate to 75 degrees and fire at both surface and air targets. She was also one of the most powerful destroyers in the world when she was commissioned in 1930. Ayanami participated in many battles and operations in the Pacific War, such as the Battle of Malaya, the Indian Ocean raid, the Battle of Midway and the Solomon Islands campaign. She earned the nickname "The Demon of Solomon" for her fierce fighting spirit and skill. She was sunk by gunfire from the USS Washington on 15 November 1942 during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal and was later scuttled by another Japanese destroyer, Uranami.
-Overall a generally capable and well-rounded destroyer, it trades the secondary/anti-aircraft armament of most other destroyers for a powerful and long-range torpedo armament, meaning it is exceptionally vulnerable to aircraft.

She has a 5.4s rudder shift which is his is decent enough mobility, but won't win any prizes compared to other destroyers. When taking evasive action, the ship's turn rate is faster than the turret's targeting rate, requiring more steady course to re-adjust firing solution.

-The Type 3 127 mm gun found on the Ayanami is mounted on a particular three, twin mount turrets that were historically called a "Model B" or "Type B" (B型砲を, B-gata-hō). They are located in a rear-heavy configuration, bearing one turret in the front and two rear turrets in a super-firing configuration. Guns have two types of shells available: HE and HE-DF. The shell speed of 910 m/s is the second-best among comparable destroyers, exceeded only by a modern [[Albatros-Klasse (143)]], firing shells at 914 to 925 m/s (depending on the type). She has a 7.5s (8 rounds/min) reload speed with a stock crew and a 5.5s (11 rounds/min) reload speed with a fully aced crew, which is one of the lowest fire rates, compensating it with a large number of shells fired in a broadside.

 The HE shell has 54 mm (0° angle) of penetration at 1,000 m, dropping off to 27 mm at all angles at 10,000 m. It carries 2.2 kg of a Type 91 explosive filler (military name for the Trinitroanisole) that has an equivalent power of 2.31 kg of TNT. It's a significant upgrade from Mutsuki's 1.95 kg TNT equivalent 120 mm HE shell, but relatively low comparing to 3.22 kg TNT equivalent onboard [[Farragut (DD-355)|Farragut's]] [[5 inch/38 Mk.12 (127 mm)|5 inch]].

-The Fubuki-class has three triple torpedo mounts of a 610 mm calibre. They can carry an onboard reload so total amount of torpedoes are 18. Spare torpedo storage are placed on side of funnel and 2nd turret.  These torpedoes are the Type 90, which have good speed - 85 km/h or 52 MP/H - and 7 or 15 km range respectively (Torpedo Mode modification off/on). The Type 90 carries 480 kg of TNT equivalent explosives, which is only beaten out by the [[Type 93 (Disambiguation)#Torpedoes|Type 93s]] found, between others, in subsequent [[IJN Yugumo|Yugumo]]. Overall, they are strong torpedoes for their 4.0 BR, given their good range, fast speed and large explosive filler. Torpedo Mode modification is a tier IV, making it a time-taking unlock.

 Unlike on the [[IJN Mutsuki]], launchers on the Ayanami have a much more intuitive setup, with the first, front launcher covering the widest firing arc (80°), but also being the first one to fire when manoeuvring bow-first towards the enemy. Second, middle launcher having relatively decent 66° firing arc and oriented towards rear of the ship is also fairly usable. The tricky one is the third launcher, aiming exactly perpendicular to the ship, and having a very narrow field of fire. It plays more of a support role, forcing the ship to expose its entire length to the enemy. Overall though, it's a very practical setup, making Fubuki-class an extremely dangerous enemy, able to release torpedoes without you knowing it, or cover an entire strait with a wall of torpedoes.

-The Special-Type Destroyers represented in-game as IJN Ayanami were designed in 1922 due to the Washington Naval Treaty. Under the criteria of a speed of 39 knots (72 km/h), a 4,000 nautical mile range and a strong torpedo armament, the class were ordered in 1923. Their armament and size were very good for their time and remained a fair enemy up to the end of WW II. They were designed to 'cruise' in the Pacific, as the bow was shaped to provide protection against the weather. Built between June 1928 and March 1933, they fall into three main groups: The Fubuki class, using the Type 3 'A' mount, the Ayanami class, using the Type 3 'B' mount and with other changes, and the Akatsuki class, which had three boilers and a torpedo launcher/turret. However, their heavyweight caused stability issues and after the Fourth Fleet Incident, they were rebuilt in 1935-1937 with more ballast, a slightly different bridge, and less gun and torpedo ammunition. Eight Ayanamis also were retrofitted with Type 3 'C' guns. These rebuilds increased their weight further to 2,000 tons, and over 2,400 with a full load. The Ayanami we have in-game was sunk in November 1942; USN battleship Washington shelled her and causing heavy damage resulting in its scuttling by fellow Ayanami-class ship, Uranami.
