S-17 was recommissioned on 16 December 1940. After voyages to Bermuda , S-17 operated in the Panama Canal area from December 1941 to February 1942. On 28 February 1942, she was operating at periscope depth when a United States Marine Corps plane dropped a 100-pound (45.4 kg ) bomb targeting her periscope .[1] kg ) bomb that landed within 50 yards (46 m ) of her while she was on the surface.
