| Description |
Plaque at Albacore park commemorating the subs lost at sea. Very eerie to think about. The fifth monument is dedicated to the officers and men lost on the 52 submarines that failed to return from patrols during World War II. Included in that group is the first submarine Albacore (SS-218). A total of 374 officers and 3,131 enlisted men lie in the world's oceans still on their "Final Patrol". US submariners, making up 2 percent of the Navy during WW II, accounted for 55 percent of Japan's maritime losses. Of the 288 US submarines that participated in WW II, a little over one in five failed to survive the war. This monument recognizes the successful role they played in the war in the Pacific and honors their sacrifices. <a href="http://ussalbacore.org/html/memorial_garden.html" rel="nofollow">ussalbacore.org/html/memorial_garden.html</a> |
