    No, I didn't dispute that fact, I disputed your conclusion. (which is just an unproven theory, but not without some merit)

      Quite a cool story, actually, and in no way bashing the US - just that they're still using an ex-Nazi tall ship...
      What better way to stick it to your enemies than to use their captured equipment to train the troops used to defeat them. Every sailor trained is a giant FU toHitler and his boys.

          the 505 on display is pretty neat - worth the few extra bucks to see it.

                Wow, I almost forgot about that. Yeah kids love it.

                The other main exhibit back then was the coal mine.

                But out of all of them the sub was the best.

                          I always liked Tom Lehrer.

                              the von should not be capitalized.
