Considering it used to be laying on the seafloor where you couldnt see it at all, i dont see what the big deal is. Its not a intact and "working" boat like u505, its a salvaged wreck. That is a BIG difference.

From a historical standpoint, WW2 submarines that were in working order and had FAR greater historical significance then U534, have met their end at the scrappers torch. So i dont see what the big deal is over a salvgaed, rust deteriorted, wreck; and besides, her sister sub (u505), is very well intact, and very well preserved in a climate controlled undeground concrete shelter. The legacy of the type 9c uboat is well preserved.
