Saw a TV show on this ship and the attacks on it in March 1945. The story is legendary. Good to see. Thanks for posting.

Looks like they placed her in the Clamagore's (SS 343) berth. Wonder where the Clamagore's went?

According to the museum's website, she's in maintenance from January 18th until further notice. I'm sure they'll find a place for her once she's back - probably needed a bit of an overhaul as it is.
