It was most likely cut up so the more inacessible parts could be accessed for preservation. It would be a real pain in the ass to preserve it without taking it apart somehow. Most restorations involve taking the ship, airplane , auto apart. It was welded together when it was built it can be welded again. They did a neat job of the cut, not a hack job.

@SMGJohn The not so-politically-correct version of that joke is: The grey bearded captain pops out of a hatch and says, "Heil Hitler, who has won?"respectively, "Is it over?"

One of the very few type IX U boats left.
And it gets cut up.
How deeply and profoundly retarded.

Don't worry too much! The owner wanted alot of money for the submarine. No one would pay. MerseyTravel have cut this in places which haven't damaged its structural integrity, and the quality of the cuts are perfect. Looks like it's been planed off on a machine bed almost! Was the only way to save her, and it has been done to give her a far better chance of being saved and put back together in the future. Also means she can be transported easier, if a new buyer comes along :o) It's not the end!!!
