Architects involved for interior design will be directed by the Owner himself. The Ship was designed in 1938, and came into service in 1940 as headquarter vessel of the German submarines fleet commander of the Third Reich Navy. The Ship was under the command of gross-admiral Doenitz, inventor of “wolfpack” tactic of U-Boote during the world war II. The Ship was also used as government Yacht of Germany, and she hosted Hitler, Goering, Himmler, and other nazi bosses, shown by many old pictures.
On 1946 the Ship was commandeered by the Soviet Union, and used as Government Yacht by Stalin, Kruscev, Breznev, Gagarin and other soviet regime personages. Fallen into disuse after the fall of Berlin wall, she was abandoned up to 2007 when Mr. Crispino bought her from Russian Navy.
