    Several of the scuttled/salvaged ships at Scapa Flow came up upside down. Battle cruiser Derfflinger, raised in 1939, remained floating that way until 1946, British ship repair facilities being rather occupied in the interim.

    If the photo is one of the German ships from Scapa, it appears to be a battleship. They had three screws; contemporary battle cruisers had four.

    I pity the poor ordinary seamen who lived for those ships for so many years. When I was stationed (USS Reeves, CG-24) in Japan we'd get visitors from the IJMSDF on occasion. One memorable day a group came down to our engine room and wanted to see some of our gear*. I had a "mini camp" for them and we damn near killed the translator with technobabble. It was fun.

    I like the off set tail wheel. Counter act the torque so the thing does not flip itself over.

    So it's only option is to corkscrew into the ground? Sounds like fun. To bad I had a root canal that day.

    Yeah. I googled 1969, but this popped up. This is what I thought I had. But my 69' with a 302 , (the original engine had been swapped out) attracted what I was hunting for.
