I went to the 52 boats memorial at Liberty station on Memorial Day. To celebrate Memorial day, there were lines of American flags. The 52 submarines were from World War II. There are two lines of Memorials, parallel to a field. For memorial for each ship is made out of smooth, black, marble. If you look closely at the number of deaths, you can see how many submarines crews didn’t make it. One of the boats, the Swordfish was never found. There was also a plaque celebrating the lives of submariners who didn’t go down with their ship. Some of my favorite ships were the Bonefish, the Snook and the Swordfish. I learned that submarines were much vulnerable than they seem.
