Early the following day, Almaack took alongside at 0210 and commenced fueling her at 0225, before she logged in evidence of further Japanese activity to attempt to disrupt the landings: LST-925 reported being attacked by an enemy torpedo boat; was attacked by the same type of craft, and the transport suffered damage from a Japanese suicide motor boat. Soon after these occurrences, at 0457, "Almaack" extinguished lights in her cargo holds and ceased cargo operations and boat movements. "Barton" cast off at 0640, a half-hour after she completed fueling.
