P. 2
O THOSE whose contribution meant
T
the loss of sons, brothers or husbands
in this war, I pay my most humble re-
spect and extend my deepest sympathy. As to
the 874 officers and 8181 men of the Submarine
Force who gave their lives in the winning of
this war, I can assure you that they went down
fighting and that their brothers who survived
them took a grim toll of our savage enemy
to avenge their deaths.
MAY GOD REST THEIR GALLANT SOULS.
From speech given in Cleveland, Navy Day
1945 by Vice Admiral C. A. Lockwood, Jr.,
Commander Submarine Force, U. S .Pacific
Fleet, January 1943 - January 1946.
