Today I took my "crew" to the USS Nautilus museum in Groton, CT. On the way I saw a sign for the National WWII Submarine Memorial. Not having heard of it, we decided to investigate. So glad we did. What a beautiful memorial and tribute to the 52 subs and 3000+ crewman lost during WWII.

I'd love to get there to see the Arizona and Mo. It's on the bucket list!. I can't complain though because Battleship Cove in Fall River MA is an awesome time with everything they have on display there.

In 21 years I was blessed to see some Naval History and got to make a bit of my own.

Looks fairly new - might not have been there when I was living in New York. I use to drive up 95 all the time to Boston. Never heard of it either.

You don't even see a sign until you get off exit 86 going to Groton and the Nautilus.

The dark panels on either side of the central tablet list the names of the lost submariners much like the Vietnam Wall.
