Submarine abandoned in New Jersey/New England
What ever happened to the WW2 sub that was abandoned in New Jersey? When the host organization went bankrupt and the thing was silted in by the river sludge?

USS Ling (SS-297) on the Hackensack River in the Peoples' Republic of NJ?
Last I heard the museum organization went broke, the river is too silted to get anything in to lift it onto a barge and its too compromised to tow.

Re: Submarine abandoned in New Jersey/New England
USS Ling (SS/AGSS/IXSS-297) is a Balao-class submarine of the United States Navy, named for the ling fish, also known as the cobia. The ship was grounded in the Hackensack River at the former location of the defunct New Jersey Naval Museum in Hackensack, New Jersey. It is now afloat again and an effort is underway to find a new home for the Ling. It is inaccessible to the public.[

“ after vandals flooded the boat”
Really? F****ing worthless sh*ts in today’s world
I hope they catch the little B****d’s and skuttle them with a few cinder blocks
Probably in the same groups who enjoy destroying Portland, Seattle and Mineapolis
