At random: Traditionally, United States submarines have been named after fish and other marine creatures. One exception was the Navy's first submarine HOLLAND which was named after its inventor, John Philip Holland. Today, ballistic missile submarines are named for famous American patriots, with the newest class, the OHIO class, named after states. The LOS ANGELES class of attack submarines are named for United States cities. The nations news class of submarine, the Virginia class, is also named for US States, making them the capital ships of the navy.

Subject: World War II U.S. Submariner POWs

The Naval Institute Press will be publishing my book "Presumed Lost" around the first of 2009. It covers the U.S. subs Perch, Grenadier, Tang, Robalo, S-44, Sculpin, and Tullibee and the ordeals the survivors of these boats went through as POWs of Japan before returning home.

I am interested in family members who might care to submit wartime-era photos of their veteran who was lost or became a POW from these boats. Also, would like any stories from families I have not yet contacted.

Regards,

Stephen L. Moore
