Hi,

Absoulutely. Now, a /real/ rarity would be a 4-rotor U-boat
cipher; of
which probably only hundreds were made, and most
will be
quitely rusting
& rotting at the bottom of the ocean...
We have a salvaged U-Boat here on Merseyside, not far from Adrian's
famous shed. I wonder what happened to the Enigma machine??
Good point; although as that Boat was sunk, I suspect the enigma was
destroyed either by the crew, or by spending 40-odd years under water.
I've heard that they're going to preserve it as-is (i.e. in it's rusty
wrecked state), which I think is a shame; it'd be interesting to see it
restored IMHO.
One of these days, I really must get around to visiting the historic
ships...
