History

Did you know ...

The U.S. Submarine Service represented only 1.6% of all Navy personnel during WWII, but accounted for over 55% of all ships sunk by the U.S., including 1/3 of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

52 U.S. subs were lost during WWII (over 3,500 men) and they suffered the highest casualty rate of any branch, almost 23%.
