“This day in World War II;” ships sunk by the US Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard. This includes ships that were rendered unable to perform their function and/or considered Constructive Total Losses.

This is a companion to:
This Day in US Navy Losses in World War II

I should have posted them together, but didn't think of it.

Note: If anyone catches an error, please let me know.

There is occasional conflicting information among the sources, particularly involving loss dates. As a result, a ship might be listed with conflicting references or listed more than once with its corresponding reference.
