I would think that the Prinz Eugen would be near impossible(hi Karl :lol: )to raise in one piece.well the cost would be HUGE. LET HER REST ! she earned it on to the subject of the german uboat force,they were both very good and very brave. BUT (again) on both attempts to close the convoy routes acro...
