Scapa Flow/Loch Ewe January 1945

I thought some of the big ships might have moved back there by now. It was an easy sail in from the southeast (SSE, not the tiny east passage), past two destroyers, and into the unguarded main channel. All that was in there were two Fiji cruisers, a troop transport, and a couple of tankers. An interesting collection, but not the jackpot I'm looking for. Ironically, it was much easier getting in there now than it was when I did it in early 1940.

So I'm thinking of sliding down to visit Loch Ewe to look for big ships. Anyone ever been there in 1945? If that's a useless stop too, I'll just sit on the Med convoys and hope for a big BB to wander by...
