  List of lost United States submarines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During World War II Fifty-two submarines of the United States Navy were lost during World War II.
Some 16,000 submariners served during the war, of whom 375 officers and 3131 enlisted men were killed, which is the lowest casualty rate of any combatant submarine service involved in the war.
The Submarine Veterans of World War II suggested that each of the fifty states of the United States "adopt" one submarine, except California and New York, which should adopt two.

 USS Cobia (SS-245) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USS Cobia (SS/AGSS-245), a Gato-class submarine, was a ship of the United States Navy named for the cobia, a food fish found in warm waters.
After overhaul, she was towed to New London, where she was again placed out of commission in reserve in the Atlantic Reserve Fleet 19 March 1954.
On 1 July 1970, the Navy struck Cobia from the Naval Register, and she was towed to Manitowoc, Wisconsin to serve as an international memorial to submariners.

 Barracuda class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Barracuda-class submarines were the product of Project Kayo, a research and development effort begun immediately after World War II by the United States Navy to "solve the problem of using submarines to attack and destroy enemy submarines." The three Barracuda ASW boats were the only US submarines to bear the hull classification symbol SSK.
It was also thought that this would allow shipyards without submarine experience, and aircraft contractors with experience in the mass production of large complex aircraft, to build these submarines.
As with the pre-WWII Mackerel class and later USS Tullibee the result was a ship with insufficent performance to meet their intended operational usage.

 United States Arsenal
Even though U.S. ballistic missile submarines will be capable of maintaining day-to-day deterrence with instant retargeting, robust communications, and excellent accuracy, the Minuteman III is being retained largely because of entrenched interests in maintaining the Cold War construct of the U.S. nuclear triad.
Currently, 78 submarines and 66 surface ships have launchers capable of using the TLAM-N. It carries the same W80 warhead as the ALCM, and is very similar to that cruise missile in many respects.
Yield of W87 warhead is listed as 500 kilotons in "LGM-188 Peacekeeper," Jane's Strategic Weapon Systems, as 300 kilotons in Arkin and Norris, "Nuclear Notebook" Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (July/August 1996), p.63 and as "300 kiloton range" in the older source, Cochran, Arkin, and Hoenig, U.S. Nuclear Forces and Capabilities, p.

 United States Callsign Policies
Finally, as of the 1933 list, with the widespread adoption of radio, the visual signal assignments were eliminated as no longer needed, although ships that had radio transmitters were now instructed they could employ their radio callsigns for signal letter purposes.
However, according to the station lists appearing in the latter publication, it is clear that the commercial land stations were actually being issued calls in the opposite pattern, i.e.
The United States was divided into nine Radio Inspection Districts and these stations received calls consisting of their district number followed by a pair of letters.
