| American Submarine Losses During World War II |
“To the 374 officers and 3,131 men of the submarine force who gave their lives in the winning of this war, I can assure you that they went down fighting and that their brothers who survived took a grim toll of our savage enemy to avenge their death. May God rest their gallant souls.”
Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, Jr. USN / Commander Submarines Pacific
“We, who survived World War II and were privileged to rejoin our loved ones at home, salute the gallant officers and men of our submarines who lost their lives in that long struggle. We shall never forget that it was our submarines that held the lines against the enemy while our fleets replaced losses and repaired wounds. It is to the everlasting honor and glory of our submarine personnel that they never failed us in our days of great peril.”
Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz USN
