During World War II, the U.S. Navy's submarine service suffered the highest casualty percentage of all the American armed forces, losing one in five submariners. Some 16,000 submariners served during the war, of whom 375 officers and 3,131 enlisted men were killed.




The USS Grunion was just located off Kiska a couple years ago. The Grunion was lost on its first war patrol. As unfortunate as their loss was, I feel honored that they are resting in our waters. Even though that's still about 850mi W of me from the tip of the AKPEN.
