The research on a specific group of US Navy (US Submarine Men) who died 
during WWII has be ongoing for some time. See 
http://www.subvetpaul.com/Diedwwii.htm

The uncomfortable discovery that hundreds of men's records are not available 
to interested researchers without Hugh sums of money was depressing to this 
old WWII veteran. 

Dependence on members in the genealogical community to supply missing data on 
some records has yielded a limited number of positive results. However, there 
are still many hundreds of records of "Men who have died twice" without dates 
and places of birth.

To find another interested researcher or organization, who is willing to aid 
in acquiring and / or confirming missing data in the existing published work 
would be great. The only payment would be a credit line in future editions.
