Re: "There was a submarine next to the Alabama. Any word on that or is it submerged?"
I don't know, that's why I was asking HuronMan for a source...
I visited the USS Alabama many years ago and was very impressed at how they had it in top notch shape... Every time there has been a hurricane hit Mobile Bay, I've wondered about her. I hope she is okay.

It has been at least 20 years since I've seen it and it would be a shame to lose it. In fact, I remember in the fifth grade at Cary Woods Elementary School here in Auburn, I contributed money to help with the USS Alabama acquisition and restoration. Or something like that.

The USS Drum has been moved to an area on land on the port side aft of the USS Alabama. Saw it on Google Earth. I heard someone on the radio ask about the 'Bama and how it would fare. They stated it was sitting on/in a mud deck and it would take something a lot bigger than Katrina to refloat it. I'm wondering about the aircraft on static display near the 'Bama. There is a B-52 that looks like it could have taken wing with the winds that were available. Hope everything's safe there and the other affected areas.
Godspeed to those in harms way.
