Retired seaman builds his own U-boat

I admire the old boy for what he did. It is not him that is making the claims that it is a replica U-boat; that is the work of the lemmings in the Press. They are so abysmally weak on history that I hang my head in despair when I read most articles written by graduates of modern "journalism" schools these days. At least, though, the writer didn't call it a "Nazi sub" fifty times. As far as the non-historical number, I'm pretty sure he knew that was not a number corresponding to a real U-boat. He probably chose it for reasons not mentioned in the article. I wish him all the best with his new toy. I'd love to rent it for a convention/party of SH3 groupies. We could all dress up in our leathers and sing Village People songs like, "In the Navy." The "Navy Dude" guy from Subsim would probably show up.
