Kinda hard to be wrong about that assesment given this:

I remember visiting the Cavalla as a kid years ago. :nope:

Last few times I've been she was looking a bit better though.

It's a reality that some boats get more attention than others. If you can't attract visitors then you can't expect to maintain a 65 year old chunk of steel in pristine condition.

Which is better, to have a rusting submarine, or have a nice shiny new washing machine?

And that will probably be the only time I'm gonna say that I frankly BOW to your country.

A true technological miracle, minutia in its PUREST state !


Given the uncertain :hmmm: usefulness of moving such an old boat into its individual nest (in the current economical situation worldwide, I mean) and the overall price of the operation :o, I guess that sort of thing could have happened ONLY in the US of A.

Glad to know you're the ones taking care of that boat. :03:

Nazi Germany is definitely victim of a cult.
You should see the amount of people walking around german bunkers looking for ANY (literally) object here.

Hi!

For those of you who worry about U.S. submarines from the period, perhaps you should visit the USS Silversides in Muskegon, Michigan. The boat is in excellent condition (her diesels are operational), and is a U.S. National Historic Landmark. I have been there: it is a very nice exhibit.
