The Abandoned USS LING - Will it be Saved?

Drone footage I took during my visit to the abandoned WWII submarine USS Ling. The centerpiece of the New Jersey Navel Museum in Hackensack NJ since the 1970’s, the institution has since lost its lease to a developer in 2018 and was forced to leave. The only thing left behind is the 312 foot WWII submarine USS Ling. After surviving Super Storm Sandy, the sub later fell victim to vandals in mid 2018. The vandals stole 4 plaques from the sub and opened hatches below the waterline which flooded it in several feet of water. An effort is being made to relocate and restore the vessel, but unless someone can find a way to free it from the muck at the bottom of the river, its fate hangs in the balance. See the link below for details of the latest efforts to save the Ling.
