Parade Magazine is apologizing for a design flub that paired a Nazi battleship with an award winning U.S. Navy chef, the magazine’s top editor told USNI News on Monday.

The story featured Senior Chief Culinary Specialist Derrick Davenport, a chef for the Joint Chiefs Chairman, who won the gold medal in the March 38th Annual Military Culinary Arts Competition at Fort Lee, Va.

But topping the heart warming tale of Davenport’s rise to the gold from the broom closet sized kitchen of the attack sub USS Annapolis (SSN-760) was a collection of ship silhouettes that included the most notorious Nazi battleships of World War II – the Bismarck-class.

What’s sad is that the German ships that were captured were just used for nuclear target practice after WW2.

Not entirely true, FRiends.

Behold the USCGC Eagle (WIX-327) the Coast Guard training ship that was formerly the "Horst Wessel" of the Kriegsmarine. Taken as a war prize in 1945, she was renamed the "Eagle" and assigned to the USGC.

Interestingly, her hold was an exact mockup of a U-boat cabin, where Nazi submariners would train before the outbreak of WW2.

Hey it is the media. One floating thing looks just like any other floating thing.

Just like our floating thing in the WH.

To a submarine, all surface ships are TARGETS.

I don’t get article writers/editors who don’t just find a pic of the ship they need? I’m sure they could get a pic from a Navy website! instead some moron probably just googled “ship silhouette”.
