Pat Pending the Golden Gate meant to prevent Japanese submarines from entering. The boat was painted Navy grey and outfitted with a gun on the bow and depth charges on the middle deck, making it an official Navy vessel. However, after a few years, the yachting navy was replaced by real Navy vessels, and "Pat Pending" was decommissioned. After serving in the War from December 9, 1941 to July 1944, she was repurchased by Don Owen for $100. Following her decommission from the Navy, Don Owen gave the boat a major rebuild in 1945 to restore "Pat Pending" to her pre-Navy condition.
