Former Nazi Ship Becomes Floating Church In Croatia |
Nazi ship to become vehicle of faith in Croatia
Tue Jul 4, 2006 10:14 AM BST
ZAGREB (Reuters) - Croatia's defence ministry has donated a World War
II Nazi ship to a local Roman Catholic monastery, which will turn it
into a sailing church, the Jutarnji List daily newspaper reported on
Tuesday.
The landing ship DTM-219 was used by Nazi Germany to transport tanks
and infantry. It was given to communist Yugoslavia after 1945 as part
of war compensation, it said.
The ship, currently anchored at a Croatian navy port, will be towed to
the city of Sibenik, in the central Adriatic, where it will be adapted
at a local shipyard.
It will be used as sailing church for the young, who will be able to
sail the Adriatic, pray and meditate as part of church-sponsored
religious cruises, the daily said.
Some 90 percent of Croatia's 4.4 million people are Roman Catholics.
The country, which gained independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, hopes
to join the European Union by the end of this decade.

Yeah. If there's one thing a large number of young men
trapped at sea on a small ship are known for, it's praying
together...
A: "So how do you know it's a floating church?"
B: "Because it's filled with Catholic semen!"
