Circumstances Probably sunk by depth charge attack
Remarks Lloyd born in Clinton, North Carolina.
He was one of the heroes of the sinking of USS Squalus (SS-192). His quick action in closing the watertight door in the after battery compartment against the on-rush of water required extraordinary strength, and saved the lives of 32 men.
