Because we can.
That’s right.
This is a BBC piece.

And a beautiful piece of workmanship, still operating as intended 89 years ago, is to be honorede for her existence, not the lunacy of the director of the builders .... THEY were masters and in love with their work .... not politics
Wann'a know how to think of and assimilate things like this?
Look down on your own hands and picture when they were sixteen or 20 .... remember what they did ?
Pretty neat, huh ?
And here you are ... a hundred years later, all politicked up !

There’s a long history of using captured vessels in many Navies. For example, the UK used captured US ships in its navy following the War of 1812. Ships are expensive, so it makes sense to reuse them.

Weren’t the Nazi’s a political party? Why is it always anything Germany built after the Nazi’s came to power as Nazi’s built it? Like the German soldiers - they’re always depicted as “Nazi soldiers”, etc. Just wondering not making a case. Thanks in advance.

‘Cause the Krauts built a damn fine ship, and the USCG can put her to good use.
