Abstract
During the Second World War, United States submariners were isolated from the rest of the Navy. Submariners faced a higher level and different type of danger than the rest of the Navy. They developed their own way of speaking, a unique worldview, and their own traditions. Although it is widely recognized, especially among contemporary sources, that submariners shared a unique bond, nothing has been published that examines submariners as a cultural group. This project will examine submariners as a distinct sub-culture within maritime culture and as a folk group. The goal of this project is to identify and clearly define submariner culture. In doing so, the author hopes to identify and examine the reasons for its formation. This project will focus on the United States Navy during World War Two. This project utilizes firsthand accounts of submariners and an examination of actual submarines, submarine memorials, and submariner material culture to identify, explain, and define submariner culture.
