Seawolf Park is home to the USS Cavalla and the USS Stewart. The Cavalla is a World War II Gato class submarine. She serves as a memorial to World War II submariners that are still on eternal patrol. The Stewart is destroyer escort (one of only two remaining in the world) and serves as a memorial to all DE sailors. The park also has on display the sail from the USS Tautog SSN 639 which stands as a memorial to cold war submarine sailors.

Capt. Zeb Alford former CO of the USS Sam Houston, USS Shark, XO of Cavalla, one of the founding members and Chairman for 6 years of the Cavalla Historical Foundation passed away on the evening of August 4th after suffering a heart attack on Sunday, August 2nd. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Zeb was an active and cheerful individual frequently speaking about Submarines, keeping up to date on Submarine technology and when he spoke, he always pointed out that the true Capital Ship of the U.S. Navy was the submarine, not some target. |
