USS Cobia's Sturgeon Bay arrival delayed

If you were planning on waiting for the arrival of a World War II-era submarine to a Sturgeon Bay shipyard on Thursday, your plans are changing. The Wisconsin Maritime Museum announced on Wednesday that the USS Cobia would not be making its planned trip to Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding for dry dock repairs due to the weather forecast. Wind speeds more than 15 miles per hour are expected, which are too fast for crews to complete their mission safely. The waters will not likely calm enough for September 5th, which was initially selected as a backup date. As of now, there is no future date planned. The Wisconsin Maritime Museum is coordinating with other agencies to pick a new date to ensure safe passage for the USS Cobia from Manitowoc to Sturgeon Bay when weather allows.
