Conyngham arrived in Leyte Gulf 4
November screening reinforcements. She was strafed by a float plane on 16
November, which wounded 17 of her men and caused slight damage to the ship.
On 7 December she covered the landings in Ormoc Bay under heavy air attack,
and on 11 December, entered Ormoc Bay again with reinforcements.
Putting into Manus for replenishment 23 December 1944, Conyngham sailed on
to Hollandia to join the screen of a convoy bound for Leyte and on the
landings in Lingayen Gulf. Here she joined in pre-assault bombardment, and
remained on patrol after the landings of 9 January 1945 until 18 January.
