Japanese destroyer Makinami (1942)

Makinami (巻波) was a Yūgumo-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Her name means "Overflowing Waves" (Rolling Wave).

On the night of 24–25 November 1943, Makinami was on a troop evacuation run to Buka Island when she was sunk in the Battle of Cape St. George. After being crippled by a torpedo from either USS Charles Ausburne (DD-570), USS Claxton (DD-571) or USS Dyson (DD-572), she was finished off by gunfire from USS Converse (DD-509) and USS Spence (DD-512), 55 miles (100 km) east-southeast of Cape St. George (-5.23333°N, 153.83333°W).
