Inscription.

The USS Harder crew under the superb leadership of Commander Samuel D. Dealey, USN set a war record for submarines by sinking five Japanese destroyers in five days and was credited with sinking 78,000 tons of Japanese shipping before being lost in 1944.

May all the lost submariners have eternal peace knowing the sacrifice they made helped defeat the evil forces who tried to enslave the world. May this hallowed place reflect the bond the living share with those who have given all for the price of freedom and peace.

This memorial erected by Utah Submarine Veterans 1997. We appreciate the donations from former crew members and others.
