Hackensack, New Jersey (US):
No one knows what is inside five steel safes on the USS Ling that have been shut for more than three decades.
There could be documents detailing strategies of the submarine's one and only World War II combat mission, crew orders, code books, or the executive officer's personal artifacts, such as family letters. Some of the boxes could be empty.On Friday, speculation over what is in the safes will come to an end.
The locks on the boxes will be opened with the help of Jeff Sitar, a Clifton resident and world-champion safecracker. Sitar will use an electronic stethoscope and his senses of sight, hearing and touch to decipher the locks' codes.
