So it sounds like they were exposed to salt water for those ten years? What do they look like? It would be useful to see a picture or two (you can upload pics using the "Upload Files" button when replying).

Coins should never be cleaned. Read this article for more information on why: Why you shouldn't clean your coins.
We would suggest starting with gently rubbing them with water using either your fingers or a microfiber cloth. That's pretty much all you would ever want to use on coins to avoid damaging them. Please do post some pics if you can.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream. -
Andrew, the "missing" mintmark means it was minted in Philadelphia and coins from that mint do not have a letter on them.

If the penny is truly red then it could be worth some good money. However, true red pennies are rare and it is common for pennies to take on unusual colors after circulation depending on the environment.

The "B" looking like an "R" could be damage or it could indeed be an error. We do not appraise coins, and doing it over the internet would be impossible, anyway. To be sure you would have to take the coin to a reputable coin dealer for appraisal.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream. -

That said, there are only a couple dozen 1944 steel pennies in existence. It would be highly unlikely to casually come across one.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream. -

If you are a penny collector it's good to hang on to it but don't expect it to be much more than a keepsake.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully.
