Just visited the North Carolina Aquarium @ Pine Knoll Shores (http://www.ncaquariums.com/pine-knoll-shores), Pretty good aquarium, but what I was surprised at was they had a mockup of the wreck of U-352 in one of their tanks:

Obviously a victim of the ASW efforts during Drumbeat. But I also learned it's one of 3 U-boats sport divers can dive on:

We then went to the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort. Interesting little museum, but what makes it noteworthy is that they are spearheading the salvage of the Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard's Flagship. The wreck lies only a few miles from the museum itself. Interesting stuff to see.
