The Paddle Bell - US Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. - World War II Memorials / Monuments on Waymarking.com

U. S. S. Paddle (SS 263) carried this bell throughout World War II. Similar bells were carried by all U. S. Submarines.

Upon this bell we toll the loss of 52 American submarines and crew of 3,621 officers and enlisted men who went down fighting during WW II. Additionally, we recognize those lost during peace time operations:

U.S.S. Thresher (SSN 593) - 129 Crew
