USS Corvina SS-226
Crews Bio's
INTRODUCTIONS
Researched by Dale Poe
While doing the research for the Corvina model, it struck me that, even though our creed and purpose is to continue the memory of our brother submarine sailors who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country, and we do remember each of the boats that have been lost, we do not know the men who were lost. We know the Corvina and that it was lost with 82 men, but we do not know the men themselves. I would like to change that over the next few months by introducing you to them as men. Then you will be able to put faces to the bell chimes. I have been researching the crew in alphabetical order so that is how I will be reporting them. The information that I have included is all public information if you know where to look. I hope this gives you a greater appreciation of what was lost.
