On 26 October,1942 scout planes from Enterprise located the Japanese force. At 0944, the first Japanese planes were sighted and Hornet was hit by bombs 30 minutes later. At 1125, Smith was attacked by a formation of 20 torpedo planes. Twenty minutes later, a Japanese torpedo plane crashed into her forecastle, causing a heavy explosion.

The forward part of the ship was enveloped in a sheet of smoke and flame from bursting gasoline tanks and the bridge had to be abandoned. The entire forward deckhouse was aflame, making topside forward of number one stack untenable. Smith's gunners downed six of the planes. By early afternoon, the crew had extinguished all of the fires forward—largely assisted by the decision of her Commanding Officer, Lt.Cdr. Hunter Wood to steer the burning ship into the (foam and spray of the) wake of South Dakota. With 57 killed or missing, 12 wounded, her magazines flooded, and temporary loss of steering control from the pilothouse, Smith retained her position in the screen with all serviceable guns firing. Action was broken off in the evening, and Smith headed to Noumea for temporary repairs. She was patched up and underway for Pearl Harbor on 5 November. At Pearl Harbor, she underwent a yard overhaul and sea trials that lasted into February 1943. USS Smith was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for continuing to fight despite crippling damage to the ship.

Reefer ship Asmara passing through the Canale Navigabile, Taranto, 1930s. During World War II, she served for a time as a "floating refrigerator" for the garrison of the Aegean island of Leros, and also served on occasion as an accommodation ship for the men of the Xa Flottiglia MAS, during the lead-up to the raid on Souda Bay and that of Alexandria.
She sank on 11 August 1943, a day after being torpedoed by HMS Unshaken; of the 157-strong crew, two died and twelve were wounded.
