Clamagore update

(1/3) > >>

Lance Dean:
Received this yesterday:

“Patriots Point Development Authority in Charleston, SC is looking for a new home for the WWII-era submarine, USS Clamagore (SS 343), and has initiated the Section 106 process for determining the vessel’s future.  The pressure hull of the vessel is thought to be in pretty good shape, but the ballast tanks and turtle back need a lot of restoration work.  Any established museum that has an interest in acquiring the intact submarine, not just parts of it, should contact Bob Howard @ Patriot's Point."

Jim:
What is the latest status on the CLAM?  I wonder if we could float her over to Tom's place or maybe berth her up here in the middle by BATFISH...... :D

BrokenArrowtiger:
one submarine is enough for oklahoma XD just getting the batfish here was hell. .it would be nice to see it transfered to somewhere in flordia...then again the requin had her own little probs at flordia...hopefully she will end up in the west coast thats if she can even make the journey their.

Jim:
She'd never make the west coast.  Too bad of shape and too far to go.  Panama Canal?  No way.  She stays east or maybe gulf or she's a reef.

Jim:
We could bring her to Muskogee. All we need to do is borrow this trailer.   ;D
