Here’s a very cool photo of the USS Growler, the submarine that’s been docked in Red Hook near the Cruise Terminal since April. The sub was with the Intrepid and, then, moved to Bayonne and then to Brooklyn. It’s had to undergo significant repairs including costly ones due to a rusted hull.

Thanks for posting. In a city of 8 million plus, I figured someone knew the story behind this sub.
