The Ayanami was first sighted by the American destroyer Walke, but the light cruiser Nagara was located soon after and the four destroyers' attentions shifted to it.
Fire from Ayanami, Nagara, and the Uranami would sink two of the four destroyers (the Preston and the Walke), mortally wound the Benham (which would be scuttled after the battle), and severely damage the Gwin, causing heavy American losses in the first phase of the battle.
The destroyer sustained critical damage and 40 of her crew were killed.
