Summary

| Description |
English: Royal Oak Memorial, St Magnus Cathedral This plaque and bell commemorate the men of HMS Royal Oak, sunk by a German submarine in Scapa Flow in 1939. This incident - a daring raid on the base of the Royal Navy's home fleet - was to have a profound influence on the Second World War, convincing Hitler of the effectiveness of submarines and prompting Churchill to order the building of the Churchill Barriers - a series of causeways blocking the eastern entrance to Scapa Flow. |
