Prien

[edit]

Although Stier most likely refers to the constellation Taurus ( in keeping with the naming of other raiders, Widder (Aries) and Orion), it is also possible the name is tribute to submarine ace Gunther Prien, whose nick-name was “the Bull of Scapa Flow�? ( “der stier von Scapa Flow�?.) and whose emblem on his boat U-47 was a white bull. Xyl 54 11:16, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was the shipping company that operated Cairo before the war; I can't remember what it stands for, though I seem to remember it was in one of the source books. I can check next time I'm in the library, if yours hasn't a copy. Xyl 54 (talk) 14:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done; it was the Atlas Levant Line, which we don't have a page for. It's part of Hamburg-Sud now. Xyl 54 (talk) 17:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
