Hayate (疾風) was a Kamikaze-class destroyer, one of nine built between 1921 and 1925 for the Imperial Japanese Navy.
Commanded by Lieutenant Commander Takatsuka Minoru, Hayate was one of six escorting destroyers of destroyer division 29 assigned to escort a small invasion force to land on Wake Island on December 11, 1941.
Hayate was hit amidships by at least two 5 inch shells from US Marine coastal defense guns which pierced her internal magazines, causing her to blow up and sink in two minutes with all hands, totaling 168 men, in full view of the marines on shore.

 Hatakaze class destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hatakaze class of guided missle destroyer is a 3rd generation vessel in service with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF).
Most notable are those that allow the Hatakaze class to function as a group flagship.
Normally this duty resides with the DDH class, but in case of a DDH being absent due to repairs or an accident, the Hatakaze design allows for it to function as a command ship.

Destroyers were purchased mainly from Yarrows and Thonnycroft, leaders in destroyer design at the time.
The parallel designs, Second Class destroyers of the Momi and Wakataka classes, were also ordered in this period and for a time after their completion were also not given the names assigned to them but were only known by their hull numbers.
As the Fubuki class and their improved successors became available in numbers the Minekaze and Kamikaze ships were withdrawn from first line service and reassigned to secondary duties.
