Salo does not want the whole submarine, just pieces of it. The idea for the project, according to Salo, began about eight years ago. Life in the “silent service,” the term for those who served on submarines, is something Salo understands. He’s part of the Alaska’s first crew when it went out on its first patrol in 1986. He spent nearly 3 1/2 years on the Alaska, and those he served with are part of his fondest memories.
There’s still plenty of work to be done before people visit the memorial-museum, including deciding where to place it in Seward, although talks with the city continue.
