This is evidence of what a generation that has been taught to hate it’s history has wrought.

One would think on a museum sub that the sea cocks would have been welded shut.

The ‘museum’ is kind of defunct...the main building is closed. It’s really little more than an open air display of old military hardware, which includes the submarine.

The Ling itself is a problem...there have been efforts to get her moved, but there are real issues with that. She is currently stuck in the mud and not really afloat. Even if she was freed from that, there is no way to move her anywhere as the waterway she came in on has long since stilted up and simply isn’t deep enough anymore. Add to that that there is an old drawbridge in the path that is no longer functional...and the chances of her coming out in one piece is slim to none.

Sad end, but there simply isn’t the resources to do much more than cut her up in place.

Yep, I once was at an old steel mill in Pittsburgh where someone had stolen 10,000 lbs of copper cables by sawing them off with a sawz-all. The scrap metal place never once asked where he got it all.

Antifa! Hugin should blame Mennendez. Put the turd in his pocket and let him take it out.
