The radio call signs for all boats are listed at

Just look up the specific boat you are interested in. The call sign is at the top of the page.
Here is USS COD:

Radio Call Sign: November - Echo - Charlie - Oscar
This needs to be translated to WW II:
Radio Call Sign: Nan - Easy - Charlie - Oboe
You need to translate to WW II era names:
In WW II, N is 'NAN' - after 1957 N is November.

Happy Hunting!
