Re: Prinz Eugen
Here is the last of the pictures that I have found so far
The major source of these pictures is http://www.prinzeugen.com/
If you like the pictures, the author of that website has information about most of the pictures and it is a great read about the ship
http://www.bismarck.dk was another source of the pictures I have posted so far.

Re: Prinz Eugen
Fascinating. Obviously a number of them were in US hands. It looks like she came through the A bomb test fine ... one photo presumably shows them hosing her down afterward. No list at all, but then we see her capsized. I wonder how long she sat there before she sank.
Re: Prinz Eugen
From what I've read, PE was sailed back to the US by her German crew after the surrender and the German crew aboard PE actually conducted a post-war gunnery exercise off the coast of Long Island to demonstrate the efficiency of PE's gunnery system for US observers. If anyone has any detailed info on that gunnery exercise, I'd be really interested to learn more about it .

Nagato and PE at that experiment. What a waste!

Re: Prinz Eugen
Not really a wast, Karl. The US expends old ships fairly often to test weapons. The USS America was sunk a few years ago for just that purpose, so we could find out the effects of a number of different weapons, and the ability of similar ships to withstand them. Then you can make changes if necessary, but the only way to be sure what will happen is to try them out. When I served in SSNs we routinely carried tactical nuclear weapons.Karl Heidenreich wrote:Nagato and PE at that experiment. What a waste!
