	Wedderburn
		Wedderburn continued her antisubmarine vigil while the carriers she protected launched their aircraft first against Okinawa, then Formosa, and finally Philippine targets, striking enemy air bases on Luzon and the Visayas to give the United States dominance in the air over Leyte when the invasion began on 20 October.
		Thus, Wedderburn was far north when the Surigao Strait and Samar phases were fought on the night of 24 and 25 October and the morning of the 25th, respectively.
		Wedderburn was one of those escorts so reassigned and consequently remained with TF 58 while the task group of cripples retired to base.
