I would have thought so too. Reporter says "stem" proofreader corrects to "stern"
But no eagle on bow here 
And there does seem to be something on the stern

BTW, one of the GREAT WW II Movies..."Deat in the South Atlantic" from the book of the same name, tells the story of the British hunter group, consisting of three much smaller, and outgunned ships, HMS Exeter, Achilles, and Ajax, which cornered the Graf Spee..
LOL - I must have overlooked that number in the article. :)
They said the emblem was on the stern; wouldn't you want something like that on the bow ("leading the way for the glorious 3rd Reich (etc.etc.)") rather than on the ass-end of the ship?
Yah; and the picture will now be possible to publish in Europe.
Oh yeah; the papers surely couldn't have photoshopped it on their own. :)
Question: can we get a GGG ping here for CT if we're buried by the storm and we dig _ourselves_ out? Or only if _someone_else_ digs us up?
:') Big storm? I don't watch much TV. Oh, hey, I've got it here on Google News... 12 inches in the forecast... that's quite a bit. That Gulf Stream has its drawbacks, eh? Of course, we do occasionally get 12 inches here, but it's more usual to have six inches a day for four days. :') And that doesn't stop the GGG ping from its appointed rounds...
