On 28 July 1945, she was attacked by aircraft from Vice Admiral John S. McCain Sr.'s Task Force 38 which resulted in her being beached near Yokosuka (at 34°5′N 136°15′E / 34.083°N 136.250°E / 34.083; 136.250) where she remained until the end of World War II.^[1][2] CH-14 was struck from the Navy List on 30 November 1945 and scrapped soon after.^[1]
