21.June
1919 the commander Ludwig Von Reuter issued the order to
launch "Paragraph 11", the order for the German Hochsee
fleet to be scuttled in Scapa Flow. Within a few hours
almost the whole mighty fleet disappeared in the deep at
Scapa Flow, except for a few smaller vessels and the light
cruiser Nürnberg that drifted away and ran aground. She
was later towed down south to Weymouth and used as target
practice for the battle cruiser HMS Repulse 7.July 1922.
The remains of Nürnberg rest today on a depth of approx 60
meter outside Weymouth.
