While the convention is for submarine veterans only, there will be a tolling ceremony open to the public on August 23, 2024 at 4 p.m. on the deck of the USS Cod Submarine Memorial. The “Tolling of the Boats” ceremony honors those who have been lost on patrol. Each boat is recognized by the name, location, if known, and the number of sailors lost.
