Welcome to the USS LING (SS 297). The USS LING is a Balao class W.W.II submarine, that is permanently berthed at the New Jersey Naval Museum in Hackensack, NJ. The USS LING and the Museum are operated by the Submarine Memorial Association, a not-for-profit corporation.
This tour of the USS LING will take you through all of the major compartments on board the submarine, as well as areas that are off limits on normal tours. This view of the submarine shows the bullnose, limber holes for free-flooding of the superstructure and the bow buoyancy tank and the bow planes in their retracted position. The anchor is located on the opposite (port) side of the hull, which is a characteristic of submarines built to the Portsmouth Naval Yard plans.
