STILL ON PATROL
U.S. Navy submarines
paid heavily for
their success in
World War II.
A total of
374 officers and
3131 men are on
board these 52
U.S. submarines
still on "Patrol".

We shall never forget that it was our submarines that held the lines against the enemy while our fleets replaced losses and repaired wounds.

Fleet Admiral C.W. Nimitz, U.S.N.

I can assure you that they went down fighting and that their brothers who survived them took a grim toll of our savage enemy to avenge their deaths.

Vice Admiral C.A. Lockwood, Jr., U.S.N.
Commanded Submarine Force 1943-1946
