Three months later, the Intrepid Museum Foundation filed for reorganization under federal bankruptcy laws. Under the reorganization plan, creditors were paid only a portion of their chums.

The bondholders, for example, received 23 cents on the dollar. The museum reports that it has been operating in the 1 black since last year. From a marketing profile, our visitors typically come in groups of two and three-quarter people that is, one New Yorker with about two out-of-town guests, said Wayne Schmidt, a former Naval submariner who is the museums executive director. Theres a low number of repeat visitors. Its Schmidts hope that the Growler, which will be joined later in the summer by a decommissioned destroyer, the U.

S. S. Edson, will lure back those New Yorkers who have already Been the Intrepid and finally entice those who planned to visit one of these days. In the meantime, as attendance gradually rises from about 500,000 visitors annually, school groups included, the museum remains firmly anchored by a board chairman who has put his money where his interest lies. Zachary Fisher, a partner in the investment building firm of Fisher Bros, and one of Forbes magazines wealthiest people in America, estimates that he has spent more than $10 million of his own money to develop and maintain the Sea-Air-Space Museum since he was drawn to an effort to save the Intrepid from the scrap heap during the 1970s.

Indeed, during the reorganization crisis, the museum was rescued in large part because Fisher wrote off a loan to the institution. Towing the Growler from Puget Sound, and refitting it at George Steinbrenners shipyard in Tampa, cost him about $1 million. We have a hundred thousand youngsters visit each year, Fisher said. The museum shows them important background on the armed forces and whist it takes to keep the peace Weve got to educate the youngsters. The future of the museum is bright because Im behind it, the Brooklyn-born Fisher said.

Shes pretty well paying her own way now, and I think the Growler will bring in a lot of people. Nevertheless, because his personal generosity dwarfs revenue from any other source, an obvious question is whether the 78-year-old Fisher has provided for the long-term stability of the museum. Yesterday, he told a reporter: You can write, Mr. Fisher gays not to be concerned. He then laughed and added: Im not an idiot Im a successful businessman, and Im not building up something that will close down on my death.

Although the Growlers record of patrols off the Soviet Union and China remains classified by the Pentagon, a visit to the 317-foot-long submarine, one of few on display around the country, helps strip away some of the mystery that cloaks these vessels of the deep. The tight quarters and intricate gadget-ry offer vivid evidence of the exacting conditions under which her 88 crew members prowled the Pacific. A few of the men used to bunk anxiously, one would think atop torpedoes stored in the nose of the vessel. The kitchen isnt much larger than a New York apartments. And even though all crew members volunteered for submarine duty, surely the Growlers drab-green decor sank a few spirits as the dives routinely stretched from 60 to 85 days.

Not our idea of fun and good cheers, but doing our job to ensure many New Years, reads an entry in the submarines log from Jan. 1, 1961, according to the reference book American Naval Fighting Ships." As for weaponry, a Regulus cruise missile, which looks like a small jet, is poised skyward in its launch on the Growlers deck. Unlike the nuclear-powered submarines that would come later, the Growler (and her sister sub, the Grayback) had to surface in order to fire sea-to-surface nukes. Were looking for another missile, Schmidt explained during a tour, but they arent easy to find.
