My granddad was in the Aleuts, and an uncle was lost with the
S.S. Trout on a combat patrol off Saipan on 29 February 1944.
Trout was also using Mk. XVIII electric torpedoes, and it was also possible that one of those had made a circular run and sunk the boat, as happened with
Tang.

My mothers first husband was lost on the Trout. They had been married for 4 months when he shipped out.

"My focus right now is to have them honored in every possible place," including the World War II Registry, the Navy Memorial and the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor in New York, she says. They likely need to know about the U.S. Submarine Force Memorial at the Indiana Military Museum at Vincennes, Indiana. Among their many other displays, there's a Mk XVIII Torpedo with a brick-faced memorial plaque for individual submariners killed or lost in action, the crew of SS 208 Grayback, plus the U.S.S. Indianapolis memorial, both for the WWII Cruiser and the recent Los Angeles class nukeboat.
