Actually, the movement of the sub from Seattle to San Diego was strickly a business deal. The owner, a private individual, decided he was better off financially to sell the museum than to continue to operate it as a museum. The San Diego Maritime Museum bought it outright.
The US Coast Guard issues you speak of had to do with her voyage down the coast, not her operation as a museum.
San Diego Maritime is also the future home of USS DOLPHIN (AGSS-555).
