Pity, obviously plans to restore this Dec41 Pearl Harbor survivor have failed.

It appears she is due for scrapping. Please see....http://www.bvibeacon.com/1/index.php/news-articles-2/1547-featured-articles/7314-contractors-prepare-to-remove-derelict-boats:

Thanks Mike; I have added the link to all my Kodiak Queen/YO 44 pictures;
I agree that this historically important WWII vessel should be honoured and properly preserved, like the Liberty ship Jeremiah O'Brien (especially since the latter was only one of "a dime a dozen.")
Good luck and keep me up to date.

YO-44 was present in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7th, 1941, bringing the total of "known" surviving vessels from the attack to 5.
