The USS Cassin Young, which endured one of the last kamikaze attacks of World War II, has now survived more than a year of bureaucratic wrangling and will soon get repairs to put the 376-foot destroyer back in the water. The decision comes nearly two years after a leaking hull landed it high and dry in a Charlestown Navy Yard dry dock.

But the Navy, which owns the ship, and the National Park Service, which is responsible for maintaining it, have committed only to “a cost-sharing arrangement to accomplish the minimum repairs necessary to undock the ship,” leaving the destroyer’s long-term fate uncertain.
