Two barges are bringing the USS
Razorback submarine up the Arkansas River from Rosedale,
Mississippi, today. It`s the final leg of the submarine`s journey
from Turkey to North Little Rock. Mayor Patrick Hays is traveling
with the sub and said he expects that it will arrive in North
Little Rock sometime tomorrow.
The submarine is balanced between the two barges because it was
drafting deeper into the river bed. Officials say the craft is high
enough in the water now to make the trip up the river. The
submarine will only be moved during daylight and will take about 36
hours of actual travel time.
The submarine is to be docked on the banks of the Arkansas River
to anchor a 15 million dollar museum.
