Many historical ships are lost that could have been saved, as one famous WW2 submarine that was sold for scrap for 100,000 dollars and members of the crew I read in Wiki stated we could have all put in money to buy it to stop it being lost.The United States of America currently has a population of 313,741,000.
If someone set up a nation wide marketing program and its own click and pledge account for USS Clamagore, https://www.clickandpledge.com/

Buy a submarine for a dollar!

Advertise it on all the tv media, radio
Tonight shows
Make a movie for YouTube to elicit donors for the Submarine just as politicians have done
Advertise through the navy
Advertise through international submariner naval organizations
Encourage wealthy donors To be part of America's living history.

Let us say 33% of americans are children and cant pay, 33% of people from means that cant pay or wont pay. etc etc etc. Even if only 5% of American citizens donated $1.00 after a strong campaign that would amount to over $15.5 million. Enough to pay for the submarine restoration and any advertising costs.

The USS Clamagore was a Balao-class submarine, built in 1945 and still in training when World War II ended. It had the Guppy II and III modernization and while not an active fighting boat in WW2, still represents the ones that did take part and is the last living memory of its type and those brave men who went out on those vessels not knowing if they would come home in order to save their country from people of lesser ideologies.It must be saved!
Commissioned on 28 June 1945, her 67th birthday is coming up soon!!

Do not forget them, make a donation to this non profit organization. If you wish to donate by check to C/O USS Clamagore, you may make it out to the Patriots Point Foundation and mail it to P.O. Box 309, Mt. Pleasant, SC, 29465.
