An underwater war grave containing the victims of one of the worst British naval disasters of the first world war has been surveyed for the first time so it can be preserved in the middle of a windfarm. The two K Class submarines were destroyed on 31 January 1918 during the so-called battle of the Isle of May, in which 270 lives were lost. The two submarines were sunk and three more damaged along with a surface cruiser. But no enemy ships were involved in the sinkings, 20 miles off Fife Ness on Scotland's east coast. The deaths were all caused by a series of night-time collisions within the British fleet. Read more Divers survey Scottish graveyard of first world war submarine disaster | World news | The Guardian
Talk about burying the truth , an insult to the families who never knew what happened to their menfolk ,
Peter, A very tragic tale, kept secret for too long. It really makes one wonder what other incidents were covered up. Slapton Sands also falling into this catagory. Regards Tom
Those K Class subs were a disaster waiting to happen, what prize idiot thought of having steam driven submarines which if I remember rightly were coal fed. They had to put out the boiler before they dived
