Tried following a link from English Pravda today and got lost in Cyrillic regarding raising and refloating the Admiral Graf Spee. Do you know anything about it?

What I still haven't figured out from what I read so far (and would like to know) is where will the ship's remains being going once they are raised.

Will they all be restored together, or scattered among museums and private collectors?

Guys,

I don't have anything to add but you have brought up an interesting story.

I don't think that they are trying to get the ship to one place, I guess it will be a lot of parts such as the USS hartford.

The USS Hartford, David G. Farragut's flagship during the taking of Mobile and New Orleans, sunk at its berth at the age of 100 years. {Launched 22 November 1858 - sunk 20 November 1958}

It was from an era that we do not have any remaining examples. One of our losses.
