How We Began
(The story of Perch Base)
All of us have served their country in the Silent Service.
USSVI Creed: "To perpetuate the memory of our shipmates who gave their lives in the pursuit of their duties while serving their country. That their dedication, deeds and supreme sacrifice be a constant source of motivation toward greater accomplishments. Pledge loyalty and patriotism to the United States of America and its Constitution."
We honor those submariners who have
never returned to port and remain on

As a monument to all Cold War veterans, Perch Base is dedicated to help in the preservation of parts of the original USS Phoenix (SSN-702.)
To that goal, the Base has built the float, shown above.
The float is a ¼” = 1 foot scale model of the nuclear powered submarine USS Phoenix (SSN-702,) named after our city. The Phoenix was a Los Angeles-class submarine that was 632 feet long and, on the surface, had 32 feet under water.
Check out the “Photo Gallery” page for more photos of the Base Float.
