could not b© held for long. In fact, during 1941 war semed so likely that th© Fleet was held in th© southern Phillippiaeg most of the time. However, in the fall of 1941, the situation appeared "to be frowing a little * more favorable. Freed of the restrictions previously imposed by national poliey, at last reinforcements were arriving in the Pilippins, and it seemed -that after all there might fee's, ehanee of hiding th© Islands, Army planes and tanks were coming in rapidly, and more submarines with their tenders had arrived. Within a few months, when these new forces had b en organised and shaken down into their new iuvironment# the Philippines would obviously be a much harder nut to crack,. The war plan -as in the process of change, based on the premise that now there was a chance of holding th© Islands until the Fleet should arrive.

A copy of the account of the exploits of the USS Canopus and her crew written by Capt. E. L. Sackett, USN and forwarded by the Navy Department to Steven J. Owens, father of Samuel Robert Owens. Samuel Robert Owens (1918-1995) was stationed at Cavite Naval Yard in the Philippines when the United States entered World War II. He was a member of the crew of the submarine tender USS Canopus (AS-9), which was actively involved in the defense of the Bataan peninsula until the fall of Bataan on April 9, 1942. The majority of the crew of USS Canopus, including Owens, were captured by the Japanese at Corregidor, and became prisoners of war. Owens remained a POW until the end of the war and received the Silver Star and Bronze Star for his service.
