Default HMS Royal Oak

If you've never heard of her, shame on you, but Priens prize is still leaking oil today. What really got me though, is the following report by the BBC, which shows a detailed 3D image of what she looks like now.

Yeah I knew about the oil and the trouble getting it out of the internal tanks ut that sonar 3d model was awesome

Nice find

Wonder what the rest of the Scapa floor is like with the blockships and WW1 Ge ships still down there
