Two days later she continued on to the Philippines, entering San Pedro Bay, Leyte Gulf, on 7 October. ''LST-975'' again got underway for Japan six days later, embarked men and equipment of the United States Army's 52nd Field Artillery Battalion at Mindanao en route, and arrived at Maysuyama on 25 October to disembark passengers and cargo.
