The 2513 is a great dive, been there half a dozen times. A scooter is the
way to go (Apollo or Dacor, they easily go to 200, unofficially, 300). The
current has been stiff everytime and has shifted 180 degrees from morning to
afternoon. There are Hedge hog antiship weapons everywhere and from the
gaping hole between the conning tower and the stern, I'd say she took a
direct hit :-)
