Under the terms of the armistice of November 1918 all the larger ships in the German Navy had to go to the British naval base at Scapa Flow in Scotland, ready to be handed over to Britain when the peace treaty was signed. The German admiral in command of the fleet, Reuter, had the entire German fleet - over 70 ships - scuttled (sunk) rather than hand it over. The British were furious and some German sailors were shot. Reuter was given a hero's welcome on his return to Germany.
