Maurice Herbert Rindskopf (1917–2011) was the youngest officer to ascend to command of a Fleet Submarine in World War II; and until his death, was the last living World War II submarine commander.
 His entire World War II submarine career was spent on board  , where he was awarded a Silver Star as a Lieutenant in charge of torpedoes and gunnery, and the Navy Cross as its commanding officer.
 He culminated his career as a Rear Admiral and the Director of Naval Intelligence.
Fregattenkapitän Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock (11 December 1911 – 18 April 1986) was a submarine commander in the "Kriegsmarine" of Nazi Germany during World War II.
 He was sixth among the top ten successful U-boat commanders during the Battle of the Atlantic against the Allies, in terms of tonnage of merchant ships sunk.
 He commanded four U-boats, and his most successful tour was commanding the "U-96" a Type VIIC U-boat, which gained widespread recognition when one of its patrols was documented and publicized by an accompanying member of a propaganda company Lothar-Günther Buchheim.
 He was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves.
 The story of the "U-96" was eventually made into a mini-series and film called "Das Boot", in which he was portrayed by Jürgen Prochnow.
Hans Heinrich Hass (12 October 1922 - 21 January 2009), aka "Hans-Heinrich Haß", was a German submarine commander who served in both the Kriegsmarine of Nazi Germany and later in the post war Bundesmarine of West Germany.
 As a junior Midshipman, he served on board the German submarine "U-96" during its famous 7th war patrol under the command of Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock.
 Hass was later the basis for one of the characters in the novel "Das Boot" by author Lothar-Günther Buchheim.
Commander James Stuart "Jimmy" Launders, (1919–1988) was an officer in the Royal Navy during and after World War II.
 He retired from the service in 1974, but continued to serve in an unofficial capacity on training programs until his death in 1988.
 In addition to his reputation amongst his crew, colleagues, and historians as a brilliant, highly skilled, and courageous commander, Launders is remembered as the only submarine commander in history to have engaged and sunk an enemy submarine ("U-864") during time of war using only his own unaided vessel (HMS "Venturer" ) while both ships were fully submerged.
 The unique type of engagement and the unusual nature of the enemy submarine's mission has provided one of the more enduring footnotes to the war, further cementing the fame of Launders, "Venturer", and her crew for their wartime action.

 Morton and "Wahoo" disappeared in 1943 during a patrol near La Perouse Strait, and he was ultimately declared deceased three years later.
