LORAN never died. The Coast Guard has been maintaining stations for decades.
Here are some links for info on LORAN and other electronics navigation info.

I don't think LORAN ever died.
It's still good for navigating, just isn't as accurate as GPS.

Given that Loran was dead, and has now apparently been revived in the
US, has anyone heard any announcements of new Loran receivers other
than the Furuno unit that has been available for a while?
