Interesting series from the Beaverton Veterans Memorial - this one I like best.
I can recognise those engraved plates / bricks with names of servicemen who lost their lives for their country.
What do we have in the front of the photograph - kind of a bombshell ?

Thank You, Fred. Its a torpedo, near the naval section of the memorial. The tail of the torpedo is interesting for me, though I failed to get all the tones I wanted. 'Will post later. I did like the tones on the nose of this end.

Very well done.

Thank You, Nodda. I hope they don't grow anytime soon.

Judging from the names of the ships, is that memorial dedicated to submariners who lost their lives in the line of duty?

It is, Nodda. At the center is a concrete replica of submarine prow at the radical upward angle of an emergency surfacing - frequently dipicted in film. The plaques themselves are for the ships, with the number of crew lost in each. Its the submarine equivalent of the earlier image of my 8/3 post 'Gathering Again', with images of each ship & either the number lost or 'all hands lost'.
