Years back,a good friend of mine and myself were going to learn to dive with the intention of doing Scapa Flow as we live in the UK.Sadly we never got round to it and now as i'm in my mid-fiftys i doubt i ever will.When i watch clips like this,it makes me realise what an opportunity i've missed in life
At that time of the war those older DDs were used for escort and transport duties, a reason the after torpedo tubes were removed. The story goes that the bridge structure was colapsed by the locals who blew it up to get at the rumored gold in the safe in the bridge.
