The Submarine Memorial Association was given 30 days to vacate the premises with an out date of May 31. That’s standard for a month-to-month lease. But there’s a snag.
De Laat and Les Altschuler say the USS Ling and many of the museum’s artifacts are on loan from the Navy, meaning they can’t be moved without permission.
The Navy is set to visit the site on June 6 to take inventory. The Submarine Memorial Association says it’s highly unlikely they’ll get permission to move items before that May 31 deadline.
“The very real possibility exists that if we cannot present this situation well to the Navy, they may come in and just say, ‘We’re going to eliminate this entire museum and memorial,’” de Laat said.
