Ben, I fully understand your feelings. And I don't think any of the liveaboard list members would ever try to excuse or justify the Nazis.
I think that the interest in the u-505 has to do with it as a machine, a boating machine. I certainly would not want to shoot someone, but I can appreciate the beauty of a well-designed and made gun. Nevertheless, it is good to be reminded that this was a killing machine. For some reason I have always been interested in submarines. Consequently, I have visited several American submarines as well as the 505. One thing that struck me about the 505 was how much more wood and other trim there was in the interior. In the American subs the interior was as sterile as it could be.
