Has anyone among us compiled a list of submarines visiting Corregidor?
I have a reference to a submarine arriving at Corregidor on 2 February, 1942 bringing mechanically fused ammunition for Boston and Chicago. It would be nice to pin a name on that, and any other visits besides.

Hey EXO...According to Clay Blair's "Silent Service", USS Trout, Mike Fenno, Commanding, arrived at Corregidor, February 3, 1942 with 3517 3 inch AA shells. I am confident the Blair's book(s) would list each and every visit made by Pigboats to Corregidor. These books, it would appear, make note of every significant mission (and many utter failures,etc) involving USN Subs during WW 2. If a person has the time and patience, these works are well worth reading. I have waded thru both volumes twice over the past few years. The body of info in the narrative, plus the Index, covers about all there is regarding undersea ops of that period. Cheers.
