This list was originally compiled by Tom Bowser. We have attempted to include anyone who served on the USS Drum during WWII, including what would have been the 14th war patrol that was underway when the war ended. If you find any errors or would like to make an addition, please contact me at:
Even though we have respectfully done our best to make sure this list is accurate, there are surely still errors. Please help us to correct them.
