New charges have been levied against five so-called urban explorers accused of flooding and partially sinking a World War II-era submarine in New Jersey during a pair of break-ins last summer.
Criminal counts of conspiracy and knowingly causing a flood were added on top of the burglary and criminal mischief counts already in place, according to an indictment from July 9 reported by NorthJersey.com.
Jon Stevens and Laura Palmese of Connecticut; and Edward Johnson, Stacey Bouley and Robb Hemberger, whose home states were not immediately known, were arrested in connection with the alleged vandalism and burglary. The five identify as urban explorers, people who visit abandoned structures for fun.
People have no respect these days. :mad: :mental:

1. USS Ling is not abandoned, it is part of a maintained museum exhibit (closed due damage from hurricane Sandy).
2. They stole 4 bronze plaques from the submarine. They were there to steal the plaques to have them melted for their recycle value. They were common thieves.

Urban explorers my ass!! They are thieving vandals who desecrated a memorial to WW2 pig boat sailors.
They were men of iron who rode that steel ship.
The ass holes should be stuffed into a torpedo tube and shot out. :argh: :argh: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

USS Ling is a Balao Class boat. I've not been aboard the Ling, but have been aboard the USS Pampanito, which is of the same class. Those boats are claustrophobic and not designed for tall people! Those sailors were courageous and being just a little crazy (in a good way) was a necessity.
