Suzunami (涼波, "Breaking Waves") was a Yūgumo-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

The turbines were rated at a total of 52,000 shaft horsepower (39,000 kW) for a designed speed of 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph).

[2] The guns were able to elevate up to 75° to increase their ability against aircraft, but their slow rate of fire, slow traversing speed, and the lack of any sort of high-angle fire-control system meant that they were virtually useless as anti-aircraft guns.

[2] On 11 November 1943, Suzunami was sunk in a U.S. carrier air raid on Rabaul, New Britain.

Reportedly she took a direct bomb hit while loading torpedoes near mouth of Rabaul Harbor (04°13′S 152°11′E / 4.217°S 152.183°E / -4.217; 152.183).
