I had no idea... the HMS Caroline is as much a national treasure for the UK as the Texas is for the US. I hope they appreciate her as much.

It was too bad the Germans didn't take the Goeben back when the Turks offered her for sale in the 70s, considering her role in the beginnings of WWI. They scrapped her shortly afterwards.

The 70s were too close to WWII. Even though the ship was from WWI, perhaps the Germans were afraid of appearing to glorifying their previous militarism.
