The Submarine Veteran Memorial stands proudly along the Chicago River's south bank, commemorating World War II submarines. Inspired by a challenge from a combat veteran, this memorial, resembling a submarine bulkhead, honors Manitowoc-built submarines passing en route to WWII. Situated between Columbus Drive and Lake Shore Drive bridges, it serves to keep December 7, 1941, in public memory and pays tribute to all U.S. Navy submariners. The site invites reflection on the vital role submarines played during WWII, fostering awareness and remembrance.

Submarine Veteran memorial is a representation of a World War Two era submarine bulkhead, and a result from a challenge from a WWII Submarine combat veteran. The site is on the south bank of the Chicago River, halfway between the Columbus Drive Bridge and the Lake Shore Drive Bridge. Our intention is to keep December 7, 1941 in public view, discuss and show that there were submarines built in Manitowoc Wisconsin during World War II that passed this spot on the Chicago River on their way to war, and to honor all United States Navy submariners, past, present and future.
