Notable events involving SC-1355 include:


17 Dec 1944
Around 0800R/17, HrMs O 21 (Lt. F.J. Kroesen, RNN) departed from the Philadelphia Navy Yard for New London. A tug escorted her on the river.

Compass adjustment trials were subsequently carried out in the mouth of the Delaware river on completion of which, around 1745R/17, course was set for New York. On leaving the Delaware river estuary she was joined by the patrol vessel USS SC-1355 (Lt.(jg) G.W. Conk, Jr., USNR).

Around 0745R/18, HrMs O 21 entered New York Harbour. The escort then parted company and O 21 was now joined by the Coast Guard patrol vessel CG 83311 (?) which subsequently escorted her to New London. (1)
