For a brief history of the boat, please see The Loss of USS Argonaut.
Official records for Argonaut crew members Jose DeGuzman, Mario Ramos, Jr., and Hubert R. Widener clearly indicate that they were not aboard the vessel when she was lost. All three served on other submarines after being transferred off USS Argonaut and survived the War. See our "Discrepancies in Numbers of Lost Submariners" page for further information. Additionally, one Argonaut man, Brewer Bernard Ballard, died in an accident in 1937. The following men were Marine Raiders who were carried aboard the submarines USS Argonaut and USS Nautilus (SS-168), and who gave their lives in the raid on Makin Island.
