USS Scorpion Historical Marker

Walnut Street & Riverside Drive
Presented by U.S. Submarine Veterans WWII
South Dakota Chapter, this historical marker
is located near the Missouri River on the
west side of the Meridian Bridge. Scorpion
was launched on July 20, 1942 and their first
patrol was a hunting and mining mission
near Honshu, Japan in April 1943. Scorpion
went on three patrols that earned her a
battle star. She was involved with a series of
torpedo attacks and gun battles. On Jan. 5,
1944, Scorpion rendezvoused with Herring
to transfer an injured man, but heavy seas
prevented a safe transfer. Scorpion and
77 courageous crewmen were never seen
again.
