parked outside the U-boat pens in St Nazaire.
And apparently there are several sizes...
OSAKA (10M)
AUCKLAND (12M)
HASSELT (12M)
ST. NAZAIRE (26M)
SAO PAULO (12M)
ONOMICHI (10 M)
ELST (5M)
ROTTERDAM (5M)
AMSTERDAM 2 (5M)
NÜRNBERG (5M)
AMSTERDAM 1 (5M)
WASSENAAR (5M)

It swam as far as Honk Kong but someone must have tried to eat it!
