Description
Gascoyne operated as a Survey Vessel in the Philippines from 18 October, two days before the landings at Leyte Gulf, until 17 November when she proceeded for Manus. During October, 39 air attacks were experienced in close vicinity to the ship and 30 Japanese aircraft were shot down within sight of her complement. Four bombs fell within 100 yards of Gascoyne but she suffered no damage and her only casualty was one man wounded. In November she was again the target of several enemy aircraft but was not hit or damaged.
