U.S. Submarine Veterans WW II National Memorial West

            The organization "U.S. Submarine Veterans of World War II" was formed in 1955 by surviving members of the U.S. Navy's Submarine Service.  In January, 1977 ground was broken to create their long-desired goal to create a monument honoring shipmates who died in World War II.  Since then (and after working with the Los Angeles-Pasadena U.S. Submarine Veterans) their vision has expanded to include memorializing all submariners.

Bronze plaques have been placed displaying the names of each of the 52 submarines lost during World War II as well as the names, dates and pllaces of each sailor lost onboard.  Of the 12,000 sailors serving in submarines, during the war, one in four did not return.  Names of the submarines are also inscribed on blocks set into one of the walkways.

The typeface on the stone bearing the name of the monument distorted slightly when a number of photos were merged to create this one.
