Remarks

*Information needed.  Records for this man are unverified.  His name has not been found in any official record. The original source listing him is U.S. Submarine Losses - World War II. He appears in the 1946 edition, was removed in the 1949 edition, and re-entered in the 1963 edition. He is not listed as lost in NARA, Navy Casualty, DPAA, ABMC, or the SubVets of WWII documentation. We believe that "R. C. Rhimann" was not aboard the vessel when she was lost, if ever. Please contact us if you have any information.
