The submarine tender USS Canopus (AS-9)
received severe damage when hit by heavy bombers on December 29,
1941. She lost six of her crew in the attack, with another six
wounded. She was
later scuttled off Manila Bay rather than face capture by the enemy.
Her crew was used in the defense of Bataan and Corregidor. A
large number of her crew died in the Philippine
Islands, during transport to POW camps in Japan, or in the camps
themselves.
The listing below is probably incomplete.
