The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Not Much AboutThose German Ships Resurfacing in Danube River

I have been doing a lot of searching on the internet for the names, dates and more information about the German ships sunk at some point in 1944 near Prahova, Serbia, but am not finding much.  There are plenty of articles about them resurfacing because of the extended drought and making the river channels much tighter, but as far as the event during the war, not much.

I did come across one  source that said they were sunk to block the Danube River from Soviet ships as well as to prevent their capture.

The Wikipedia sunken ships for September article said that the German subchasers UJ-106 and UJ-110 were sunk at Prahova, Romania, on September 5, 1944.
