At first glance, the headline appears that the Germans named a U-Boat after Robert E. Lee.

I read it that way as well. Very unusual name for a German U-boat.

No, it was the american U-boat. Of course, a ship couldn’t be named after a great man like Lee anymore. It would be renamed to the SS Liberachi
