 Radio freque3ncies/ African-Americans

I'm looking for two different pieces of information concerning WW II US submarines.

1) Does anyone have a listing of the radio frequencies used by the submarine service during the war? I know all messages were sent via encrypted CW (Morse code), but on what radio frequencies? Also, was the "Fox" scheduled broadcast aimed only at the subs, or was it for the fleet in general?

2) During the war, African- AMericans in the Navy were pretty much restricted to the mess attendant rating. Did any of these men serve on the subs, and were any rated as Ships Cooks?
