44th US sub reported lost today of 52 total lost during the war. 8 during the last 6 weeks of the war was a grim toll, 20% od US submariners were lost during the war.

My dad’s sub at the time the Irex was in the Panama Canal when the war ended. Very glad for the A bomb. He joined 12-8-41 was discharged in 1947.
