On 4 September 1943, as USS LCI(L)-341 approached the Lae, New Guinea landings with these troops, they were strafed by Japanese planes and took a direct hit from a bomb, killing many of the troops. They were able to hit the beach and unload the remaining troops and crew, but LCI(L)-341 would be out of commission for the next 13 months.
