Well it's not the Hayate. They're thinking now it's some kind of transport.

I didn't quite get the name but I did catch it was sunk by the Triton.

From Wikipedia.

On 24 December1942, the submarine sighted the mast of a ship on the horizon, headed for Wake anchorage. Triton (alerted by ULTRA)[29] closed to 1,000 yards (910 m) and launched two torpedoes. One hit under the stack, the other under the foremast. Amakasu Maru Number 1 was obliterated in a cloud of smoke and steam as she went under.

Looks just like it and it was a water tanker.
