Yeah...I'm sure there's a rationale for slicing that thing up. Even though it's better on the surface where people can appreciate it in some form, as opposed to the ocean floor, seeing it cut up like a sausage still makes me retch a little.

Possibly, but where's the fun in that? Surely having a working Uboat taking to the seas is a fun idea? I'd wager a fair number of folks on here would pay to have a ride on one.
