Austrians and Germans sank their own ships during World War I and World War II to prevent them from falling into enemy hands. This tactic, known as scuttling, was employed to deny strategic assets to opponents and to destroy valuable resources. The most notable instance was the scuttling of the German fleet at Scapa Flow in 1919, where German sailors deliberately sunk their ships to avoid surrendering them to the Allies. This act was seen as a way to maintain a semblance of honor and control over their naval assets despite defeat.
