Welcome to BK ! I was in the US Navy as an Electronics Technician - E5 ( 2nd class PO ) My only contact with the German Navy was when our ship pulled into Wilhamshaven for liberty after coming off a 35 day picket tour of duty
in the North Atlantic . There were about 7 old US WW1 class diesel Destroyers in the port that you guys had gotten from the US after WW2 and I was quite impressed with the condition and spit and polish of those warships and their
crews .
