German tabloid press magazin "Bild" reports that the Polish oil company "Petrobaltic" has probably discovered the wreck of the nazi aircraft-carrier "Graf Zeppelin" in 80 m depth 55 km ahead of the Polish harbour Wladyslawowo. Graf Zeppelin was the only aircraft-carrier ever built in Germany which never saw action because the ship never was finished. The fate of the Graf Zeppelin has always been unsettled. The Polish Navy is now trying to verify if the huge wreck is the Graf Zeppelin.

Wreck divers might get excited, because the only carrier you can dive to at present is the American "Saratoga" which was sunk 1946 at the Bikini-Atoll during atomic bombs testing.
