USS Omaha crew members posing on the deck of the Odenwald Odenwald was taken to Puerto Rico, and an admiralty court ruled that since the ship was illegally claiming American registration, there were sufficient grounds for confiscation. A legal case was started claiming that the crews of Omaha and Somers had salvage rights because Odenwald 's crew attempting to scuttle the ship was the equivalent of abandoning her. The court case – finally settled in 1947 – ruled the members of the boarding party and the prize crew were entitled to $3,000 apiece while all the other crewmen in Omaha and Somers were entitled to two months’ pay and allowances. Sadly, by the time of the decision, both Omaha and Somers had already gone to the scrap yard. Currently, in whatever war(s) the US may engage in, while military property may be seized by the victorious party after a war or battle, it is no longer the case that those that capture the property have a personal interest (capture for the bounty) – though such property is still considered a prize of war. The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 allow for war materiel to be claimed as trophies of war. So does US law and military regulations - Army Regulation 870-20 –Army Museums, Historical Artifacts, and Art states, “…captured enemy equipment is U. S. Government property.”. As one example, the USCGC Eagle (WIX-327) is a reparation prize from the conclusion of World War II, originally the German ship SSS Horst Wessel. The US Army Ordnance Museum has quite a collection of enemy weapons. As well, various museums throughout the United States hold quantities of military materiel captured during various military conflicts – for one example, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, IL, displays the German submarine known as U-505.
