The USS Capelin (SS-289) began her second war patrol on 17 November 1943, but was never heard from after she left for her patrol. Although Japanese records suggest an attack was made on 23 November, the information is incomplete, and the cause of the Capelin's loss is unknown. Radioman Third Class O'Donnell was listed as Missing in Action and officially declared dead 10 January 1946.
