Both named in honor of Graf (Count) Ferdinand von Zeppelin.

"What the... the Graf Zeppelin was a dirigable."

One was filled with hydrogen gas...the other is filled with seawater.

I thought I was a WWII buff - but this is the first time I have ever heard of this ship. Dang.

Quick... float it, so we can sink it again, just on principle.

It was actually a very good design for an aircraft carrier. Infighting between the Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine kept it from being finished.

Construction was stopped in 1942... the carrier was never completed.

Me, too. Dang, the ancients are stealing our wisdom again.

But look what bureaucratic prejudice gets you. If you're Germany, infighting means no aircraft carriers, no four engine bombers, no jet fighters and full auto assault rifles (until it's too late) and no atomic weapons.

(Heh, heh!)
