Japanese destroyer Ayanami (1909)

Ayanami (綾波) ("cross wave") was a Kamikaze-class destroyer in the Imperial Japanese Navy. The last of the Kamikaze-class vessels to be built, she was laid down at Maizuru Naval Arsenal on 15 May 1908, and launched 20 March the next year. Ayanami was nearly obsolete as soon as she was commissioned. On 1 December 1924 she was converted into a minesweeper. She was renamed W-9 on 1 August 1928 to free her name for her World War II counterpart, the Fubuki-class Ayanami. On 1 June 1930 she was converted again, this time to a tugboat, and was finally scrapped on 19 April 1933.
