Submarine Memorial

United States submarines held the lines against the enemy while fleets replaced losses and repaired wounds, and their service suffered the highest casualty rate of any branch. Fifty-two boats on eternal patrol were lost between 1941 and 1945, with 3,505 men remembered as shipmates who perished in submarines during World War II. The memorial is also dedicated to three local men killed in action: Robert B. Logue of USS Wahoo, David K. Sloan Jr. of USS Corvina, and Edward Szendrey Jr. of USS Seawolf. The fifty-two base stones stand for the boats lost in World War II, the black slab for the 3,505 men who perished in submarines, the three columns for the three local men killed in action, and the side and end hatches for those who survived and those who died.
