U.S. submarine Amberjack sunk by Japanese forces off Rabaul

52 U.S. submarines were lost in WWII. Each state was asked to build a memorial for one sub, New York and California were asked to build two. Colorado's monument is for USS Grayling and is located in Sloan's Lake Park, Denver.

Didn’t know that! While up near Williamsport (PA. ) I found a park memorializing USS WAHOO. Couldn’t figure the state/local angle. Now I understand!
