According to a press release by SaratogaMuseum.org, the Juliett 484, a Russian submarine which at one point had been a museum open to the public in Providence, RI, is being taken to the scrap yard to be dismantled and recycled. The Juliett 484 sank in April of 2007 during a heavy storm.
The press release also states:
"However, Frank Lennon, president of USS Saratoga Museum Foundation, former owners of the sub, has confirmed that the Foundation stands to obtain potentially significant
financial benefits from the scrap proceeds.
"This will be a real financial boost to our ongoing efforts to bring the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga to life in Rhode Island as a family attraction, job training center, educational facility and Navy memorial," said Lennon."
As the wife of someone who was involved in the Anti-Submarine Warfare of the 1960's, I look forward to the opening of the Saratoga Museum.
