History
Construction of the large-sized Kamikaze-class destroyers was authorized as part of the Imperial Japanese Navy's 8-4 Fleet Program from fiscal 1921–1923, as a follow on to the Minekaze-class, with which they shared many common design characteristics. Hayate, built at the Ishikawajima Shipyards in Tokyo, was the seventh ship completed in this class. It was laid down on November 11, 1922, launched on March 24, 1925 and commissioned on November 21, 1925. Originally commissioned simply as “Destroyer No. 13”, it was assigned the name Hayate on August 1, 1928.

“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
