SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Tells the story of how the British constructed a comprehensive defensive network by fortifying the entrances to Scapa Flow in 1914 and yet again in 1939. These static defenses were augmented with boom nets, naval patrols, and minefields creating the largest fortified naval base in the world.
