BTW, many references list PRINZ EUGEN as sinking at Kwajalein in
December 1947. Apprently this came about becaue the Navy didn’t
release the news of her having sunk unitl December 1947. (I found the
item in the news column of the January 1948 PROCEEDINGS). But the DANFS
entry on EUGEN, and the plaque on the propellor salvaged from the wreck
and set up as a memorial in Germany correctly indicate that she sank in
December 194*6*.
