the US Navy Memorial has a tribute page dedicated to ships and crew that served in the Pacific, each with a list of lost crew and their service histories, photos and brief histories of significant battles. People can add their own photos and stories there too.

Re: Navy Memorial Ship Tributes
Thank you for this link! My great-uncle served on the USS Strong DD 467, and died when she was sunk on July 5th, 1943. Any research I can find is valuable.
