Default Poles find only Nazi Aircraft Carrier in Baltic

The Graf Zeppelen was German's only aircraft carrier. Launched in 1938 it was never completed (it was about 95% done), comissioned, or saw action. It was scuttled late in the war, refloated by the Soviets, then used for target practice in 1947.

If you are into marine archaeology and/or WWII history, you may find this of interest.
