Yes. We had to wait for the boat taking us to the Arizona memorial so the Bowfin and related submarine memorials were part of our day.
The circles of stones, one inside the other, each with the name of a lost boat, with the names of the lost crew, were very moving.
One thing I didn’t expect was the US navy officer’s uniform. Black pants, tan shirt and Army style garrison hat...I thought the guy was a Marine.
