EspañolNEW JERSEY NAVAL MUSEUM
The 'New Jersey Naval Museum' (NJNM) introduces state residents and visitors to New Jersey's Navy heritage and naval history in general. The star attraction here is the USS ''Ling'' (SS-297), a 312-foot long ''Balao''-class submarine[1]. of World War II. The museum is located in Hackensack, New Jersey, and operated by the Submarine Memorial Association.
A guided tour takes visitors from bow to stern, exploring the ''Ling's'' equipment, quarters and weaponry, which included twenty-four torpedoes and two 5" deck guns (today's ''Ling'' sports one 4" gun) for handling military targets too small to warrant the expenditure of a torpedo.
Along with ''Ling'', volunteers maintain Japanese Kaiten IIs, a WWII Japanese suicide torpedo; a German Seahund a WWII German two-man coastal defense submarine; and A Vietnam War-era PBR (Patrol Boat, River). The museum building itself contains a number of different and unique items ranging from a United States Navy SEALs delivery vehicle to personal photos and effects.
