Several objects and artifacts have been unearthed from the recently discovered final resting point of the sunken Nazi warship the Graf Spee, considered at the time to possess the most technologically advanced engineering possible, serving as a symbol of Nazi power before it was sunk off the port of Montevideo by British and New Zealand ships. The parts unearthed in the muddly, 25 foot waters were range-finding equipment, a telemeter, and part of a 27-ton telemetry tower. The Graf Spee was a "pocket battleship" that was smaller and more heavily armed than other ships of the type, sinking over 9 allied marchant ships before crippled in an engagement. With the ship crippled, Captain Langsdorrf ordered it torpedoed and the crew to take refuge in the port of Montevideo, where he committed suicide.
