(Note.—One of the most difficult problems in keeping war records is the determination and crediting of the sinkings of an enemy’s submarine force. A few of the sinkings given here are still in dispute as to date, place, or cause, but this table, compiled from Allied sources, is accepted as accurate in this country at the time of publication. The Japanese list, on which the author bases many passages in the text, shows some differences from that of the Allies.)
