Re: Gneisenau
Thanx for the reply, i agree with much of your thinking. Highly unlikely/impossible that Gneisenau will go to the DMS.

*** Note, this is the respnse copied from the Bismarck thread Re: Gneisenau by paulcadogan » Tue May 29, 2012 2:55 am Hi Adrian, If Gneisenau had been serviceable at the time of Rheinubung it is doubtful that she would have sailed all the way to meet Bismarck in the DS - far too risky with the Briti...

In March 1941 the Twins put into Brest, Scharnhorst needed to be dry docked due to engine t...

high-pressure superheated steam boilers
