The US Submarine Veterans WWII National Memorial West, also known as the United States Submarine Veterans of World War II is a small memorial located at the outside gate of the Navy base in Seal Beach. Situated just north of U.S. Submarine Veterans Highway on the exterior grounds of Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station, the memorial was built to honor the more than 3,000 submariners who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and features plaques for each of the 52 U.S. submarines lost in the war, as well as plaques representing subs lost during the Cold War-era. The tree-lined, World War II Memorial was dedicated in 1977 and is also the home of two other monuments devoted to the Cold War losses of Thresher and Scorpion.
