in World War II
USS Tautog (SS-199)
In addition, two submarines (USS S-36 and USS S-39) on this list did not suffer the loss of any man of their crews, but are included because of the loss of the vessels themselves. Please note that, although no men died as a result of the loss of USS S-27, one man was lost in a non-sinking event, and on USS Darter, two men of her crew were lost in non-sinking (or more correctly in both S-27 and Darter's cases, non-grounding) events.
Known losses incurred by submarine tenders USS Canopus and USS Proteus are also included.
Please view the "Additional Losses" page for listings of men were lost while serving on vessels that were not sunk. The 26 men who died on USS Bass (SS-164) are listed on an individual page.
