Another California Wreck Organization Fights for the USS Sailfish

A Los Angeles dive shop sent me an e-mail about their interest in sinking the
USS Sailfish, a decommissioned U.S. submarine. The e-mail was encouraging divers to attend a meeting of the
Sunken Treasures Society of Los Angeles where Dick Long, founder of DUI and instrumental in sinking San Diego's
Yukon, was a guest speaker. (Tip for the STSLA: post the meeting minutes on your web site).
Why does this
sound familiar? Because Dr. Harry Wong, an active wreck diver in the Bay Area is also seeking to obtain the sub as an artificial reef in his neighborhood.
Let the battle begin!
