The U.S. Submarine Veterans of World War II assigned a submarine that was lost during the War to each state, with California and New York receiving two boats each. Many states have submarine memorials dedicated to their state boat. We are collecting photos of the individual submarine memorials, so if you have a photo of the memorial in your state that you would like to contribute, please contact us.

On this table, clicking on the name of the boat in the "By Submarine" column (on the left) will take you to our page listing the men who were lost with the boat. Clicking on the name of the boat in the "Submarine" column (on the right) will take you to a page with a brief history on the loss of the vessel.
