Scuttling of the German fleet in Scapa Flow happened on 1919-06-21.
If you're talking about scuttling, all German subs had scuttling charges in them. Not that they always worked. Germany had a habit of sinking their own ships: Bismarck, Graf Spee, and their whole battleship fleet committed suicide at Scapa Flow in 1919.

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.
No, King Christian X did not blow up his naval fleet during World War II. He ordered the scuttling of some Danish naval vessels to prevent them from falling into German hands, but the decision was made by the Danish military commanders.

During World War II, the British Home Fleet primarily assembled at Scapa Flow, a large natural harbor located in the Orkney Islands of Scotland. This strategic location provided a secure base for the Royal Navy, allowing it to protect the northern approaches and support operations in the North Atlantic. Scapa Flow was crucial for coordinating naval efforts against German forces and ensuring the safety of Allied shipping routes.
The British stationed their fleet at Scapa Flow, in Scotland. This was so they could easily leave port and intercept any Germany attempt to get into the open Atlantic.

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. Joncey
