British Admiral Frank Grenier, who is a Royal Navy distinguished submariner, created a memorial for his brothers-in-arms that will be unveiled Friday, May 16 at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum. The sculpture will become part of the Cold War Submarine Memorial. Retired Royal Navy Admiral James Perowne, president of the Royal Navy Submariner's Association, will also be present. Grenier created the memorial. It is made of hand-engraved blue glass set into a stainless steel frame. The glass, in Navy colors, was chosen to stand out in an open landscape. The engraving shows a flow of dolphins which link up the different sizes of blue panels. The older class diesel Royal Navy submarines which took part in the Cold War are pictured at the top. The later-class nuclear submarines at the bottom of the sculpture acknowledge the newer subs' deeper diving depths. Read more about the memorial in Sunday's Post and Courier. |
