In the early hours of Saturday 14th October 1939, the Royal Navy suffered a stunning loss. The battleship Royal Oak, stationed inside the main base of the Home Fleet at Scapa Flow, was shaken by a number of explosives. She became a furnace, rolled over and within minutes, had gone to the bottom, with nearly 800 men trapped inside.
