LSTs Hit by <i>Kamikazes</i>
LST-738 burning after she was hit by a kamikaze off the Mindoro landing beaches, December 15, 1944. USS Moal (DD-693) is nearby. Note the hole in LST-738’s starboard side, just forward of the large '738' painted there. Smoke in the left distance may be from LST-472, which was also hit by the kamikaze attack.
