<HTML>In answer to walters question, regarding the sub byuilt for u-571 movie.
It was berthed in Malta, and is as far as I know still there. Price was $100,000 u.s but was negoitable..! owner was (is) universal Studios prop dept. I have tried t get more details, and have faxed Malta Maritime Museum , ewho are handling the sale, but I got no response. Same with Universal. All this was posted on the forum some while ago, but I cant remember by whom. Perhaps we could buy shares into it, and holiday in it..! How about a recreation ( re eneactment) thing where the higest bidder gets to be captain, and fires the dummy torpedo at an old hulk, thats loaded with a remote controlled explosive device that activates on contact, if the torpedo hits..! Perhaps the crew could all get below, and we get twenty youths armed with sledge hammers to knock the hell out of the outer casing to recreate a depth charge attack...! Such fun. But dont laugh, there are plenty of re enactment societies that go around in genuine ww2 tanks and other vehicles, and dress up for the part, so its not inconcievable that such a thing could be done with Subs? and lets face it, I bet there isnt a person reading this that wouldnt give it a go..</HTML>
