"Destructive raid continued into the first few days of 1945. On the night of January 1-2 1945, Liberty Ship John Clayton received a bomb hit in her Number 3 hold, killing 6 men and wounding 11. She had to be beached to prevent sinking. The last kamikaze to attack Mindoro, at 1730 January 4, made for Liberty ship Lewis L. Dyche (John W. Platt, master), which was loaded to the gunwales with ammunition. She blew up immediately, disintegrated, and went down with all hands, 71 merchant mariners." |
