Please note that this page is in the process of development.
Submarines listed in bold were lost during World War II, those with an asterisk (*) are on public display in the United States, and those in italics did not have any sinkings, and therefore do not have "Sinkings" pages on this site.
On individual ship pages, "Attack No." refers to the number assigned to the submarine attack by authors John D. Alden and Craig R. McDonald as shown in their work, United States and Allied Submarine Successes in the Pacific and Far East During World War II - Fourth Edition, McFarland & Company, Inc., Jefferson, North Carolina, and London, 2009. The number is a unique identifier from the source of data that is the basis of this section of our website.
