there, "windsor" embarked another group of reinforcements and headed back toward leyte on 9 november, as part of tf 79. one day out of san pedro bay, their destination, the task force came under an attack by japanese planes that lasted for three hours. "windsor" emerged unscathed and put into san pedro bay on the morning of 14 november, commencing her unloading at 0804 and completing it at 1315, having disembarked the troops and equipment of the 32d division. during that time, japanese planes attacked the ships at 0900; but antiaircraft fire from the vital auxiliaries and their escorts, coupled with army fighter planes, drove off the enemy. at the completion of that particular reinforcement operation, "windsor"'s historian recorded: "the unloading time of five hours and nineteen minutes, averaging 95.9 tons per hour, was a new record for this ship and equalled by very few of the other transports in the task force."
