The Pacific Northwest Submarine Heritage Association, an umbrella group of submarine veterans living in the Puget Sound region, proposes to build Deterrent Park in partnership with industries, businesses, and individuals who agree that it is worth honoring the services of U.S. Navy Submariners, as well as the sacrifices endured by their families in war and peace. Deterrent Park will also commemorate the strategic partnership of the Navy, the host communities of its submarine bases, and the technical achievements of the shipbuilders and contractors who built and maintained our nation's submarines. The park will be a gift to the navy in honor of the U.S. Submarine Centennial in April 2000. It will be built entirely with private funding.
All gifts are tax-deductable.
Deterrent Park will feature a full-length replica of the topside of a Lafayette class Fleet Ballistic submarine. The hull and deck areas will be bade of reinforced concrete. An adjacent ceremonial area will be paved with bricks. If you would like to have a personnalized brick placed in Deterrent Park, click the link to go to the brick application page.
