I have nothing against loving the Type VII. I love 'em myself. But quoting a TV show to support a claim? Those shows have a long history (pardon the pun) of having droves of experts give them nothing but bad ratings.

Back when I was a regular poster on the old Warships1 (now Navweaps) boards it was a game everybody played to watch a show on the History channel and see who could spot the most 'blow-its' for each show. They never got it right.

So if a TV show telling you that anything was "The Best Of The Best" is your criterion for greatness, you lose before you're even out the gate.
