Loud, in charge of the minesweeping ships, gave word that only one fifth of the mines in the critical channel between Honophon and Dinagat Islands had been swept. The channel between the two islands was the path the 700 ship allied convoy would take to the North and South landing areas on Leyte Island, and had to be safe and secured. Though 26 moored mines had been swept, many more remained floating in the Gulf. Three Destroyer/Minesweepers including the

January, revealed only two floating mines and no moored mines. When the sweepers completed their task on 8 January, a total of only four mines had been recovered. Information from Lt. Commander W. R. Loud indicated as many as ten mines may have been removed by the sweepers by end of day on 7 January, but though it was one of the most dangerous operations for converted
Clemson Class destroyer minesweepers of the war, relatively few mines were found in Lingayen Gulf and only one additional mine on the beaches.

Though many American vessels were damaged at Iwo Jima, it was placed first before Okinawa and was expected to be a less costly battle. This proved to be the case, particularly for the Navy's Destroyer/Minesweepers.
