U-1105 - The Black Panther

Why does Maryland have a “historic shipwreck preserve?” The Washington Post’s John Kelly answers this question in an article titled “Answer Man: Dive, Dive, Dive!" The submarine was a prize German U boat which the U.S. Navy got its hands on at the end of WWII.  Their interest was in the U boat’s sound silencing technology, which, of course, is extremely important when running around the world’s oceans underwater.  An interesting piece to read, with just a touch of humor.  It’s too bad the Washington Post has such an onerous registration process.
