USS SABALO (SS-302) MYSTERY MEN


The below listed men have been "remembered" (most probably as a result of bad memory due to many years elapsed) by various crew members and some reported in other sources, but to date nothing in official records has been found to verify that they served aboard Sabalo.

If you can add anything to the record below, or have any knowledge of these men, please communicate:
