I guess a project like this would save some build time, but one would need to scratch build a few items... :grin:

The German Kaiser-class dreadnought battleship SMS Prinzregent Luitpold being towed back to Rosyth, keel uppermost.

This is one of many German ships sunk by her crew in Scapa Flow in 1919 after the fleet had surrendered in November 1918.

Although they were scuttled to prevent Allied Forces from using the vessels, some were salvaged and used for scrap metal to manufacture British armaments.

Prinzregent Luitpold came to the surface like a lamb in July 1931 and went to Rosyth in May 1932.

At first look, I was wondering if that was some sort of salvage operation…. :hmm:
