-'''Hayanami''' (早波, [[Abbreviations#.28JP.29_Naval|namesake]]: Early Waves) was a [[Yugumo (Family)|Yūgumo-class destroyer]] launched in July 1943, initially assigned to the First Fleet for training. In August 1943, she became part of Destroyer Division 32 and continued training. From October 1943, Hayanami participated in several troop transport operations to Truk and Ponape, and in November 1943, she escorted Admiral Kurita's heavy cruiser group to Rabaul to support the Battle of Bougainville Island. Throughout late 1943 and early 1944, she was involved in various escort and patrol duties across the Pacific, often facing enemy air and submarine attacks. In June 1944, while conducting anti-submarine patrols near Tawitawi during preparations for Operation A-Gō, she was torpedoed by USS Harder and sank rapidly, resulting in a loss of 200 sailors, officers and both commanders onboard. She was officially removed from the Navy List in August 1944.

 The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium {{Specs|rank}} Japanese destroyer. It was introduced during [[Update "Winged Lions"]] as a reward for the [[wt:en/news/7469-event-operation-w-i-n-t-e-r-en|2021 Operation W.I.N.T.E.R.]] event. It is nearly identical to its sister ship [[IJN Yugumo]], with the biggest differences being an improved anti-air/anti-coastal armament and additional rewards stemming from it being a premium ship. It is a very mobile destroyer with a low profile and outstanding [[Type 93 Model 1, Mod 2 (610 mm)|Long Lance]] torpedoes, but it suffers from low survivability and a lack of AP/SAP shells, making it challenging to deal with enemy destroyers in one-on-one duels.

 In late September 1943, Destroyer Division 32 was reassigned to Destroyer Squadron 2 of the Second Fleet. Hayanami's first significant mission was the Tei No. 3 transport operation, which involved transporting Army troops to Ponape in the Caroline Islands. Between 15 and 28 October, she participated in multiple successful transport runs to Ponape, often alongside vessels such as [[IJN Yamashiro|Yamashiro]], and [[IJN Ise|Ise]]. In early November, she escorted Admiral Kurita's heavy cruiser group from Truk to Rabaul to support operations during the Battle of Bougainville Island.

-Just like her sister-ship [[IJN Yugumo|Yugumo]], Hayanami upgrades over [[IJN Ayanami]] in survivability, primarily due to its lower profile, but also higher crew count. Notably the Yugumo-class has a much lower freeboard, lower forecastle and much smaller smoke funnels. This in effect gives it a better chance of avoiding enemy fire, especially at the long range, even though overall it is a longer ship. Additionally its survivability further is aided by having ammunition stored deep underneath the water line, what ensures survival if faced with AP shells, and having torpedo turrets protected against fragmentation damage, though they are still one of the easiest components to damage on the ship.
