As interesting as they may be, I am one of those odd bods who thinks they should be left alone,
as a memorial. In the same way I think about the TITANIC, let it remain as a monument, in
the memory of those who lost their lives on that fateful night so long ago.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.

Thank you Lee, I remember a TV program covering this very subject a few years ago. I suppose that
we must assume there was no loss of life, with the ship being scuttled by the Germans. At least I hope
there was no loss.

As do all wars, we are supposed to be the most advanced species on the planet, what a load of crap, it was us who decided it. :g44:
