From the April 14, 2022, CBS News, New York "All-out effort to save World War II destroyer USS The Sullivans after it starts taking in water."
A decommissioned World War II-era destroyer docked near Buffalo was taking on water and listing perilously on Thursday. It is located at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park.
Park president Paul Marzello said: "We've got a committed group down here. We're not going to give up the ship and failure is not an option."
The ship is named for the five Sullivan brothers from Waterloo, Iowa who died when the USS Juneau was sunk.
It was having hull problems last year and over $1 million was raised for repairs. They'll definitely have to go forward with those. It is too important of a ship to lose.
