Cape Torokina
As flagship of Rear Admiral Theodore Stark Wilkinson's 3rd Amphibious Force, "George Clymer" departed Guadalcanal 30 October for the invasion of Bougainville. Closing Cape Torokina 1 November, she disembarked men of the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion before joining other transports in a combined bombardment of enemy positions on Cape Torokina. She returned to Port Purvis on Florida Island in the Solomons, on 3 November; and during the next two months she made three runs to Bougainville, carrying reinforcements and cargo from the Fijis and Guadalcanal.
