It was named after the ling fish, a type of cod found in the North Atlantic. The submarine was commissioned on June 8, 1945, near the end of World War II. USS Ling saw limited action during the war, arriving in the Pacific theater after the hostilities had ceased. As a result, it did not engage in any combat missions. However, it played a significant role in post-war operations, including serving as a training vessel for naval personnel. After the war, USS Ling continued its service as a training submarine and underwent several modifications over the years to adapt to changing technologies and requirements. Eventually, it became part of the United States Navy Reserve fleet. For many years, USS Ling was moored as a museum ship at the New Jersey Naval Museum in Hackensack, New Jersey. It provided visitors with a glimpse into the history of submarine warfare and the experiences of sailors during World War II. However, due to financial difficulties and the challenges of maintaining an aging vessel, the museum faced closure. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there were concerns about the future of USS Ling. It's possible that new developments have occurred since then, so I recommend checking more recent sources for the latest information on the status and fate of this historical submarine.

Action Park was a water park located in Vernon, New Jersey, that was open from 1978 to 1996. The park was known for its thrilling rides and innovative attractions, and it quickly became a popular destination for thrill-seekers and families alike. One of the park's most famous rides was the Alpine Slide, a bobsled-style ride that took visitors down a winding track at high speeds. The park also had a large wave pool, several water slides, and a number of other attractions, including go-karts, mini-golf, and even a ski slope. Despite its popularity, Action Park was also known for its unsafe conditions and a high number of accidents. Despite these issues, the park remained open for nearly two decades, until it was eventually closed in 1996. Today, Action Park is remembered as one of the most infamous water parks in American history. Despite its controversial reputation, it still has a cult following of fans who remember the park fondly and look back on their experiences there with nostalgia. While the original Action Park may be gone, its legacy lives on, and its impact can still be felt in the water park industry. If you're looking for an unforgettable summer experience, a visit to Action Park is one that you'll never forget.
