Japanese destroyer Ayanami (1909)
- Japanese destroyer Ayanami (1909)
The "Ayanami" (綾波) was a "Asakaze" class destroyer in the Imperial Japanese Navy. She was laid down at Maizuru Naval Yard on May 15, 1908, and launched March 20 the next year. As the 32nd and final member of her class (itself was a close derivative of the earlier British designed Harusame class), "Ayanami" was nearly obsolete as soon as she was commissioned. On December 1 1924 she was converted into a minesweeper. She was renamed "W-9" on August 1, 1928 to free her name for her WWII counterpart, the "Fubuki" class "Ayanami" (1929). On June 1, 1930 she would be converted again, this time to a tugboat, which she would remain until she was finally scrapped on April 19 1933.
