>We have US MERCHANT VESSEL WAR CASUALTIES OF WORLD WAR II by Robert M.
>Browning, Jr. in the Navy Department Library. It has 534 pages of entries.
> The entry for each ship gives date of attack; time of attack; ship’s
>position when attacked; owner of vessel; master; armament; year built;
>vessel’s gross tonnage; draft when attacked; cargo when attacked; propulsion;
>speed in knots when attacked; and about a paragraph-length description of the
>ship’s voyage and circumstances of the attack. Each entry also has a source
>note. Losses are listed in chronological order, but there is an index of
>ship names. The appendix is a list of “poorly documented U.S. merchant
>vessel losses.”
