Post subject:  German Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen
Attached is a photo of the WWII German Heavy Crusier Prinz Eugen as she exists today...a wreck on the Kwajalein Atoll, Central Pacific. The vessel survived the 1946 atomic bomb testing on Bikini Atoll (350 miles away) and when towed to Kwajalein and anchored it began taking on water and sank. The gun turrets fell out when she rolled over. Since this photo was taken one of the propellors has been removed and returned to Germany as a memorial. The Prinz Eugen operated with the Bismark and participated in the sinking of the HMS Hood.

OK, I think this will be a better portrayel of the Prinz Eugen when she was a stately warrior.
