Since 1900 65 American submarines have gone ON ETERNAL PATROL taking with them more than 4,000 officers and crew. Eternal Reefs is planning the first ever undersea memorial honoring the service and sacrifice of the Silent Service.
1900 - 1939 saw the loss of 9 boats. WWII saw 52 American submarines remain ON ETERNAL PATROL and since WWII another 4 boats have gone ON ETERNAL PATROL.
On Memorial Day, 2018 Military Honors will be presented to honor these boats and crews. Following the presentation of honors these 65 Eternal Reefs will be placed off of Sarasota, FL. on a permitted site to forever honor these brave souls and allow them to continue their service by preserving and protecting the marine environment for future generations.
