The Graf Spee was intentionally sunk off Brazil? to prevent its capture by the Allies. Pictures prior to it actually sinking showed it to be in really bad condition already. The Graf Spee was a pocket battleship but had very large guns for a ship its size. David Bartsch Subject: RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] battleship arrives!

The Battleship Bismarck ordered on ebay for future passive sonar research has finally arrived! The back two turrets will be removed, a harrier deck installed, the whole thing repainted battleship grey with radar domes put in place to improve visibility (probably ping pong balls.)Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 3:50 PM To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] battleship arrives!
