Thanks Jon, Its sad to see the state of this old girl. may we never forget those brave souls who fought to make a safer world.

There is one little known carrier wreck which is good news as apposed to bad the Graf Zeppelin



A German carrier built during the 2nd world war, if it had been used Britain would have been lost to the Germans during the Battle of Britain. It would have given the Germans air supremacy at a time when Britain was running out of aircraft and men to defend itself any longer. Naysayers check your history books.

It was decided by that funny man with the Charlie Chaplin tash that the future was not with carriers, he decided they were a waste of resources and that attention should be spent else where. After the war when Poland was passed to the Russians the carrier was scuttled this was carried out by the Russians in an attempt to discover how to destroy American carriers. More importantly how and where to strike a missile etc to be most effective in sinking a carrier. It layed in the Baltic sea until found by a Polish company Petrobaltic who were carrying out oil exploration work. I had the privilidge in my offshore career to meet and work with some of the crew who found it.
