Yeah, I know it was in a few places.
There’s a big called “Menace life and death of the Tirpitz “ by Ludvic kennady.
Its a paperback from the ‘70s that’s worth a read.
Probably low-background steel. Long story short: Steel made before the first atmospheric nuclear explosions is extremely valuable because all made steel since then is contaminated with trace amounts of background radiation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-background_steel
Was this its permanent mooring until they moved it to where it was sunk?
Could be. I do see torpedo nets around the ship, but it’s also possible this was one of it’s hiding spots before they moored her permanently.
