Additionally, I've found him now listing as "Lost at Sea", "KIA", and "Missing". Still no confirmation at all if he was on a sub as multiple trawls through the online sub casualty lists doesn't show his name.

There should be some veterans associations you could check with. They would at least be able to point you in the right direction.
Also his military service records might be available under the Freedom of Information Act. That would show if he was sub qualified, as well as his last ship or posting.

Unfortunately I'm not next of kin or any relation. I'm just the neighbor. Though I think I can file a SF180 form and that should tell me what I'm after. Just not keen on the time delay and a bit befuddled why I can track down this rather basic information on the web. There seems to be a fundamental flaw in my information.
