To make a long story short, the memorial is in the way of retail and housing development...so it has to go. Never mind that a bunch of WWII vets in their 90's have given heart and soul to this project - in honor of all the lost WWII submariners.
As if that's not enough, one source says that people are already starting to steal parts off the submarine, as souvenirs. Classy.
