Is that the one that's buried under a dock in a German or Polish port?

Wasn't she one of the atomic bomb test ships? If so, it would be Bikini Atoll or somewhere near there.
It is but like the previous question I'm going to push for the correct port.
Good guess but no, that was Prinz Eugen

USS Akron was an airship and presumably went down in flames.

Indeed it was (and did). It was the world's worst airship disaster. Your turn to take off.

Staying with the USS Akron, it what unusual role did she and her sister ship the USS Macon serve?
Helium filled. Down, but not in flames.

I wonder why this general knowledge quiz periodically turns into a detailed maritime knowledge quiz....
