Large royal naval base was at Scapa Flow. This is where a u-boat got in and sunk the Royal Oak with a huge loss of life.

Scapa Flow was also where the Imperial German Fleet was required to report as part of the settlement terms for World War I. At least one German captain committed suicide after scuttling his ship.

Scapa Flow…. One of the great natural harbors of the world IIRC.

I wonder if the ghost of Jellico wonders the Battleship Row of the harbor.
