Give them community service. Specifically doing all the work restoring what can be restored.

It is such a shame. I resigned myself quite a while ago that LING herself was probably doomed, but hoped at least maybe someone could salvage items from her interior which was in great shape last time I was there(20+ years ago) and send them to other submarine museums.
After this?

No respect, no respect at all
I wouldn't want them to be near the sub again, I'd say have them pay the bill for the damages they caused.

I took a stroll through the Ling about 17 years ago and took a bunch of photos. She was in pretty good shape at that time. It's very disturbing when people pull that kind of crap!

Sorry if this violates any forum rules, but...
What a bunch of a-holes. |

I do not understand the crime of vandalism.
What sort of person garners a personal benefit by just destroying stuff? That takes a disturbing mindset

WW2 Sub Sunk by Vandals
While I agree keel hauling is too good for them (it really is a nasty form of punishment) and I wouldn't want them near the boat again either unless it was on the exterior chipping old paint on a hot summer day, and the suggestion about making them pay for damages is also good as long as their parents money isn't involved is also good.
I wish there was a way to make them understand what they were destroying, but I suspect that only happens in the movies. I think the physical punishment is what endures. For all we know, these kids (if it was kids) may come from money and a fine or damages means little to them. I'd like to see the physical punishment (hard work) to far exceed the value of what was damaged. I suspect most of what was damaged is impossible to place a value on. Maybe make them perform maintenance on the boat for the rest of their lives? Last edited by l02turner; 09-24-18 at 04:07 PM. |

Given the offense, and what SubSim is about, I'm guessing the mods might be a bit lenient on the rules in this thread.... |

A disgraceful act.
