*H. A. Calcaterra was killed while manning the boat's deck gun on September 4, 1942.

Pompano crew members George Alfred Jennings and Claire Cornwell Poole are mistakenly omitted in some sources. Please see our "Discrepancies in Numbers of Lost Submariners" page for further information.

Pompano crew member Ronald Heister was ashore for some dental work and was not with his shipmates when their boat was lost.  He lives for the memory of the men he served with.
