YESPerhaps it would have been cheaper and quicker to raise the Pamir from the bottom of the Atlantic, get her repaired and afloat again.
Now it is 6 years of renovation and 135 million Euro costs.
For this money you can build a completely new Pamir and a Gorch Fock III
Let us wait, how many millions they still need after the one month trial-trail (is this a correct term?)
Yesterday the Gorch Fock finally reached her harbour Kiel and was handed over to the Bundeswehr / german Army
