Patriots Point Cold War Submarine Memorial is a 2.3-acres site located adjacent to Mount Pleasant's Charleston Harbor, near the entrance to the Patriot's Point Naval and Maritime Museum. The memorial, which was dedicated in 2002, preserves portions of the USS Lewis and Clark SSBN 664 submarines atop a full-sized replica of a Benjamin Franklin Class Fleet Ballistic Missile submarine, which played a seminal role in South Carolina's participation in the Cold War during the mid-2oth century. It stands as a tribute to those who served in submarines during the conflict and managed submarine ballistic missiles. A circular plaza surrounds the memorial, displaying an American flag honoring the country's troops 24 hours a day.
