During the early evening of 1 November
1944, in waters near Leyte, an "Oscar" fighter crashed into
Anderson's port side, aft of the break in the deck.
Anderson suffered 14 dead and 22 wounded. Two of the wounded later died.
One of the casualties was Anderson's medical officer, and nearby
destroyer
Bush sent medical assistance. Departing Leyte on 3 November
1944 and steaming via Hollandia, Manus, and Majuro, Anderson arrived
at Pearl Harbor on 29 November 1944. From there Anderson proceeded to San
Francisco, where she moored on 9 December to begin repairs.
