Kiyonami was a Yūgumo-class destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy. She saw numerous escorting duties during WWII, and notably played a major role at the battle of Kolombangara, where she helped to sink the American destroyer USS Gwin and cripple the light cruisers USS Honolulu and USS Saint Louis. However, on 20 July 1943, Kiyonami was sunk by land based allied aircraft with the loss of all but one sailor.
