KK G Carter Returns from Voyage
KK G Carter sails off the northern coast for charts when enemy fire hits. Cannon shells wound and damage the hull as fires burn and water pours in. Crew fights back, patches holes, and with tugs aid, saves the ship. The YMS vessel, from Los Angeles harbor, served in convoy, hydrographic duties, and landing control, awaiting a return to the war zone to see a Japanese mine.
