Need book that list ships sunk and tonnage sunk by each commander

Anyone know a book (or website) that list all ships sunk and Tonnage for Sub Commanders of the United States?

I have the book Silent Victory but it list only those who had at least 5 sinkings (77 I believe).

I am doing some research for my autograph collection and could use a definitive reference

Youir best bet for finding the data you need is to go to the website http://www.uboat.net/. The site has very detailed records of individual u-boats and individual commanders. It also has a series of forums dealing with all aspects of u-boat history. This would be my first choice as a starting point. I hope this is helpful.

EDIT 1: Due to my sometimes lack of visual acuity, I failed to notice that you were seeking data on U.S. tonnage; I apoligize for my error. However, I did find this link to tonnage records fo U.S. submarines: http://www.pigboats.com/ww2/ww2sinkings.html. The reords give the date, of the sinking, the vessel type, name (if known), tonnage, and location of the sinking. The records are listed by submarine name and the links are located towards the bottom of the web page. Sorry again for the misunderstanding.

EDIT 2: I have found a further source with what appears to be a complete listing: http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/Japa...-Losses-6.html.
