USS Ling, any updates?

[Takao]

After reading LukeFF's recent post on the USS Becuna, I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about the USS Ling?

The last I heard was the the submarine had to be moved from where she was at, but this was some time ago, and she is currently still in Hackensack, NJ. Do any forum members have any updates on her situation?

I went to visit her in late summer this year. I heard the same thing. The landowners (where she is now docked) were either selling the land or, were in foreclosure. Last I heard, they were trying to raise money through donations and/or sales in order to stave off the sub's scrapping.

Wernher - those are great photos. Do you have any others you can post?

Let's keep our fingers crossed that the LING is saved.

P.S.: If you look at the 5th photo down, the one with the red light. Notice the shapes of the knobs on the various alarms. That's so that they could activate the correct alarm, even in total darkness.;)
Interesting stuff.
