The following day the Japanese included Fort Frank in their bombardment. From this time on, all the Manila Bay forts were to suffer from Japanese guns on the Cavite mainland. This fire was answered by all the forts and in particular Fort Frank. The lack of forward observers to adjust the first of the American guns however, greatly reduced their effectiveness.

The pictures however became of less value after February 15 when the Japanese shifted their gun positions.
