During World War II

Forty-eight submarines of the United States Navy were lost in action during World War II. Two -- USS|Dorado|SS-248|3 and USS|Seawolf|SS-197|3 -- were lost to friendly fire, at least two more --"Tulibee" and "Tang"-- to defective torpedoes, and four to accident or grounding. [Blair, Clay, Jr. "Silent Victory" (Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1975), p.991-2.] Some 16,000 submariners served during the war, of whom 375 officers and 3131 enlisted men were killed, [Blair, p.877.] the lowest casualty rate of any combatant submarine service involved in the war.

The Submarine Veterans of World War II suggested each of thefifty states of the United States "adopt" one submarine, except
California and New York, which should adopt two.
