Ping a Ling, the USS Ling may be recycled.

I see the problem, “...an environmental group.”

>“I don’t know what it would take to get her out of the mud or if that would even be possible,” said Hugh Carola, program director at Hackensack Riverkeeper, an environmental group.

Figgers. Try using physics instead of leftist waste.

Focus your energy on the Joules, not your lack of them.

The scrap steel must be worth something.

[Darksheare]

Might be?
It was stuck back in the 80’s when I last visited her.
Plus the bridges north and south of her are, er, inoperable and cannot be opened last I knew.

Where have I heard this before?

“My machine she’s a dud,
I’m stuck in the mud,
Somewhere in the swamps of Jersey....”

Sounds like it might end up as scrap. They probably should offer to donate it to any museum that would re-locate it for display. But the best bet might be to cut off the conning tower and ancillary items for display elsewhere, and scrap the hull.

All that these idiots need to do is use high pressure water hoses to blast away the mud. We could put a man on the moon 52 years at and these a55-clowns can’t fee a boat from mud.

Now, however, museum officials are grappling with the logistical and financially daunting challenge of moving the submarine, which by all accounts is mired in muck and is moored in a section of the river too shallow for the sub to navigate.

Now wait a tic, I thought all the pointy-headed environmentalists said that climate change was raising the sea level?

Hope they can save it, it looks like an original Balao without Guppy conversions.

The Pacific Battleship Center managed to wrangle the Iowa out of Suisun Bay and tow her down to San Pedro, Ca. Granted, the Iowa wasn’t aground but it was a major undertaking and is now a heck of a floating museum.

I think Stephen Borg is one of the fabulous people. I met one of the Borgs on a flight from Newark and he was no doubt fabulous. Still living off great granddad's fortune.

I also grew up two doors down from the man who piloted the Ling up the Hackensack.

My sister’s boat sat tied to the dock all summer, with nobody ever taking it out. We started calling it the Ling II.

"...I don’t know what it would take to get her out of the mud or if that would even be possible,” said Hugh Carola, program director at Hackensack Riverkeeper, an environmental group..."

These people say that because they don't know a single bloody thing about ships, and they are effeminate environmental pussies to boot.

If you can get a 55,000 ton battleship out of far deeper mud...

Or right a battleship with its superstructure embedded in the mud...

You can get a little submarine free. Good God. If we had to depend on people like these to do anything useful, we should just surrender in advance and save our foes the trouble.

The rising oceans from the icebergs melting should lift it up any moment now according to algore

It's a WWII submarine -- and there will never be another like it.

High pressure water (fire truck) will release it from the mud.

It's a submarine! Submerge it (partially) to pass under bridges...

[NavyDad46]

Has anyone thought of simply either drilling holes into the mud under the sub or if possible pushing a number of tubes into the mud around the sub and then first shoot some high pressure water through them followed by high pressure air and break the sub loose through cavitation or vibration, breaking the seal of the mud holding the sub currently in place?
