Melt it down? Put it in a museum? Throw it back in the ocean? Is it OK that private individuals own nazi/communist or other evel regime artifacts? I have several WW2 German and Soviet helmets, German gas mask boxes and an iron cross. Nobody ever told me that I should not own it. They are hystoric items , they don't glorify anything.
Any thoughts?
I'd say put it in a museum as is. I'd be tempted to restore it but I think it's really cool to see it as it was recovered.
Thanks,
John

I tend to agree.
There are items with Nazi swastikas in museums all over the world. The uniqueness of this singular item as an artifact of a very particular incident -- one in which, it must be remembered, the forces opposing Nazism triumphed -- would seem to me to justify its preservation. I don't think it glorifies anything...but it does have historical relevance.

I'd say that since the Royal Navy was responsible for her demise, it belongs in one of their museums as a war trophy.
