- Documented for this hull: laid down 29 July 1943 at New Jersey Shipbuilding Corp., Barber, N.J.; launched 4 September 1943; commissioned USS LCI(L)-461, 14 September 1943; reclassified Landing Craft Infantry (Gunboat) LCI(G)-461, 15 June 1944. Assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific Theater: LCI Flotilla Three; and LCI Flotilla Six (CDR A. R. Montgomery USN), LCI Group Seventeen (LCDR C. F. Robinson USNR), LCI Division Thirty-Three. Campaigns: Marianas - capture and occupation of Saipan 15 June-4 August 1944; Tinian capture and occupation 24-28 July 1944; Leyte landings 20 October 1944; Lingayen Gulf landing (Luzon) 9 January 1945; Okinawa Gunto assault and occupation 26 March-14 June 1945. Decommissioned, date unknown; struck from the Naval Register 1946; sold 24 January 1947; final disposition fate unknown. Five battle stars plus the Navy Unit Commendation as a member of LCI(G) Flotilla Three (31 January-28 July 1944). Specifications: displacement 246 t. light / 264 t. landing / 419 t. loaded; length 158' 5.5"; beam 23' 3"; speed 16 kts max. Photo captions document LCI(G)-461 laying smoke with LCI(L)-659 during the Leyte bombardment preceding the southern-beachhead landing, 23 October 1944 (US National Archives photo 60-G-288490, taken from USS Pennsylvania BB-38), and crew photography credited to the family of crewman Pat Maietta.

- NavSource is a volunteer secondary compilation, not a primary registry; its page attributes the history text to the Turner Publishing LCI volume. Milestone dates are consistent across the page but unverified against DANFS (no DANFS entry exists for this numbered craft - see search_ledger) or NVR. No asbestos or material content. 'Decommissioned, date unknown' and a year-only stricken date are approximate by source. The unit assignments (Flotilla Six / Group Seventeen / Division Thirty-Three) conflict with the official 1 May 1945 fleet organization (Group 41 / Division 81(G)) - see ev-05 and gaps.

- Limitations
- The dates are logbook-coverage dates, not asserted commissioning or decommissioning dates: the span opens on the documented commissioning date (14 Sep 1943) but closes 30 June 1945 while the ship remained in service into 1946 - SL44 records only what NARA held at compilation, so post-June-1945 logs are simply outside this inventory, not absent from service. The inventory lists the logs' existence; it does not include their contents. Physical volume count (4) is a logbook count, not a completeness guarantee.

These are the primary-source leads for any future hull-level damage, repair, material, and personnel documentation - the action-report titles independently fix her Leyte, Lingayen, Kerama Retto, Okinawa, and Ie Shima operations and a 21 May 1945 anti-aircraft action.
