The following is a listing of over 275 personal 
				memorial pages on this site for the men who are known to have 
				been lost while in service in the US Submarine Force  prior to World War II. 
				Approximately 67% of these men have photos on their pages.

				serving in the U.S. Submarine Force in the period from the year 
				1900 up to December 7, 1941.

				as a direct result of enemy action.
