Glen Jenneke
U.S.S. Antares

Glen Jenneke Yeoman 2nd Class, 19 years old. On December 7, 1941 the USS Antares was outside of Pearl Harbor at 0500 returning from Canton Island and waiting to enter Pearl Harbor because the sub net didn’t open until 0800. They went around in circles during the time they were waiting.

Two Jap planes came down at them so close, the could see the whites of their eyes. They smiled, waved and then shot.

Their ship got into Honolulu Harbor for the next day and night. The next morning, they went to Pearl Harbor and assisted where they were needed.
