Re: GUNS OF LEWES
" At the end of the war "WW-2", a german sub surrendered in Lewes".
Hammer, I wish you were right about the sub being on display but Maybe not?;
U-858 was originally docked near Fort Miles, Delaware, where the crew were held, and then she was taken up to the Philadelphia Naval Yard. She was also the first German warship to surrender to U.S. forces.
Fate> Surrendered at Delaware, USA, on 14 May 1945. Scuttled at the end of 1947 after being used for torpedo trials near New England.
