On this National Submarine Day, we celebrate the rich history and legacy of the USS Cincinnati, a nuclear-powered submarine that played a crucial role in national security during the Cold War. Decommissioned in 1996, the USS Cincinnati's legacy lives on through a memorial at the Voice of America Park in West Chester. Our team at MSP Design took on the challenge of creating a memorial that harmoniously combines history, learning, play, and relaxation. The USS Cincinnati Cold War Memorial and Peace Pavilion features original elements such as the conning tower, upper rudder, and the “Big Red Machine” emergency diesel engine generator. The structure spans the size of a football field and is equipped with solar panels that power educational kiosks and other electrical needs, while also providing shade for the park-like setting. Join us in celebrating the USS Cincinnati's legacy and our efforts to find a permanent home for this remarkable submarine. Together, we can ensure that the USS Cincinnati finds a home worthy of its storied past. #NationalSubmarineDay #USSCincinnati #ColdWarMemorial #NavalHistory #STEMEducation #Preservation #Legacy
