USS Batfish was refloated from it's dry berth by flooding in Oklahoma, note has been taking on water.

In this photo is the museum location it has resided since the early seventies, and here is an article with recent video of it floated and having drifted (I was not finding anything recent without copyright restriction to post).

Update, as the floodwaters are receded it sounds like they were able to keep it from having major structural damage, get it back in place and ballasted properly to sit back down. Though as they set up a fundraising page, it will need some interior restoration from the whole affair.
