British embassy says no guard plan could stop Scaja Flow scuttling
Washington reports that the British embassy issued a statement on June 27 saying no action by the admiralty could prevent the German fleet at Scaja Flow from being scuttled without breaking armistice terms. The ships were not surrendered but tied, making armed guards useless. Even guards could not guarantee safety as German crews could exploit valve machinery. The naval council overruled a recommendation to surrender the ships rather than intern them.
