12 Photos and a very brief write up;
"The Graf Zeppelin was launched in 1938, but never saw action because of Hitler's disenchantment with his navy. In 1945, the Soviet Union took control of the ship and used it for target practice until it sank. Nick Hewitt, a historian at the Imperial War Museum in London, said the carrier could have had "an enormous impact" on the war, probably wreaking havoc on Britain's convoy lanes in the North Atlantic. Several days ago Poland's Navy has identified a sunken shipwreck in the Baltic Sea as almost certainly being the Graf Zeppelin The oil firm Petrobaltic discovered the shipwreck on July 12 on the sea floor about 38 miles north of Gdansk.
